DIFFUSIONS

 

“The body is imaginary, and we bow to the tyranny of a phantom. Love is a privileged perception, the most total and lucid not only of the unreality of the world but of our own unreality: not only do we traverse a realm of shadows; we ourselves are shadows.” - Adolfo Bioy Casares

Phantasmagorical, narrative tableaux of views in my studio populated with images from my travels and of models from my book, Timeless Bodies, published in 2000. Collaged digitally and with print transfers, then worked over with acrylic, oil, powdered pigment and powdered metals, the effect is meditative, atmospheric and elusive.
