Sleep features
sleeping figures, evoking notions of intuition, obliviousness, death,
and renewal. The series investigates a number of interwoven
themes: the solitary figure as a traveler through both hard (outside)
and soft (inner) space; androgyny as an emblem of psychological and biological
changeability and uncertainty; weight/solidity and weightlessness/transparency
and their associations with responsibility and freedom; and a confusion
of figure/ground that evokes painterly tropes and functions as the basis
of perceptual disorientation and reintegration. |
