2 polyester sculptures in black painted room
The work consists of two pieces and is made of a black polyester resin that is extremely shiny. It is exhibited in a dark room on the ground floor and anyone who enters the room must allow their eyes to adjust to the darkness, then take a seat on the bench provided at one end of the room. It is about grief, sadness and mourning.There is an element of meditation in this and there is also the element of a garden inside. The work just absorbs the light. In that sense it becomes both a picture plane and a sculpture at the same time and, altogether, an installation too.
