The installation Common Ground made of everyday plastic bags applied on the windowpanes of Wave Hill Sunroom Project Space aims to accentuate the relationship between the man-made and the natural environment we live in. The plastic bags are in direct connection to the way we function and how it affects nature. The imagery evokes the presence of the natural world around us, in this case the view of the Palisades from Wave Hill in autumn. Patch-Work is an installation of dry point etchings pinned and organized on the wall in relation with a given place. I directly used found nuts and bolts, washers, nails, screws as templates for the imagery on the plate. The objects are found on the ground of a city in continual state of demolition and construction. I used the prints to build a space reflecting the physical space we inhabit but also the mental space we have to built in order to belong. The piece “Patch-Work” is about Home, as in what defines where we live. I wanted to underline the relation from an exterior to an interior space which becomes a metaphor for our individual life. Flying Words is a site-specific installation where books and paper are the prime material. I created this works in order to underline how, through the act of reading and looking, our relation to knowledge and communication takes place. Using paper concertina from books and images I wanted to give a moving quality to the piece, to imply that what we read or see is in constant state of flux towards the others or in the making of our own memory. |
