«guardami dentro - gmd29»
2007 mixed media; paper, threads, gauze, crude burlap, aniline and handmade dyes cm 270 x 400 |
|
Title translated into english «Look inside me - gmd29»
This new work represents epidermic cells - flakes of human skin raised to give insight
into deeper realities. The large tableau gmd29 made in this way communicates that an immaculate exterior often conceals wounds, suffering and blood. The depth of a human being better explored through pain rather than pleasure. We all know pain, for it is a common language. |
