IT IS THE SPECTATOR, NOT LIFE, THAT ART REALLY MIRRORS
2020
Dear Adam and David,
Working with mirrors the ultimate mirages I had to respond.
“IT IS THE SPECTATOR, NOT LIFE, THAT ART REALLY MIRRORS.”
OSCAR WILDE , THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY
Where we are now. I search and wonder, historic layers in a contemporary setting. Looking for meaning. My work consist of sculptures and photographs. I take pictures of different moments of being of my sculptures. Transitions of the sculptures show layers and meanings of past and psyche and are a continuing poetic and humorous shuffle of past and present. The photo works are the witnesses. I use FB and Instagram to document the process.
