invisible paradox

Our society values youth as beauty and beauty as youth. Rarely do we find maturity, experience and grace on ‘tinder’.

The installation presents the contradiction of presence through invisibility through the notions of fecundity and the fragility of beauty as transcedental in the medium of time.

The installation was designed specifically for the ‘The Study Gallery’ in Poole College, Dorset, England. A swing, hundreds of crystal beads and glass eggs encompassed the ground floor up which was open to the third floor (on the diagonal of glass walls). The concept asked the viewer (and the artist) to look at the divide, on that diagonal, between inside and out, interior/exterior, truth/myth, and of course youth and the ever present aging.

The second floor presented was a work in progress idea of objects of stacked etched glass, a performance video, cast objects, and photographs. History informing the present – so to speak.
