Gothic (Clear)

the exhibition notably features a salon style installation of 32 individual pieces. the shapes are derived from a variety of different pool designs popular during the ‘70’s & ‘80’s. the medium is a reflective acrylic, allowing the viewer to see one’s self while also facing a playful smiley face cut out. the faces were hand drawn by the artist's eldest daughter, heron, creating unique personas within each pool. this work becomes a powerful meditation on lacanian psychology and exploring the boundaries of one's persona or self.
