| 关于此艺术家 |
When I began making art in 1978, it was with
a hungry investigation to try and understand these
magical questions: What makes an object greater
than its materials? Where and what is the moment
of transformation? And why is the mask of a shaman
or a Greek Icon so much more than wood, or paint
or feathers?
In 1993, deeply inspired by fairy tales, myths and
travels to cultures more remote than my own, I
began making empty, but not empty garments, boats,
and architectural structures. These works are filled
with a presence, an energy or maybe they are filled
with a memory. A hint of a life before now -
their moment of transformation.
