"VARIATIONS of Vases and Dolls"
The figures in my "vases and dolls" series are variations of a single photograh of a sculpture of mine. Becoming first a photograph, then a virtual image,
the sculpture undergoes many more changes. Having lost its tangible nature as a sculpture, it can still regain concreteness as a print.This back and forth
exchange from the concrete to the virtual, and vice-versa, is what makes technology so enticing.
The vases and flowers are the result of a long process. They are so far removed from their humble beginning that almost nothing of their origin remains. A long while ago I photographed close-ups of my skin. Once digitized, I combined, re-combined, layered and multiplied them, thus creating "fabrics," tapestries, and three-dimensional looking objects. From these I fashioned my vases and flowers. I feel that they retain a memory of my skin. I created among others a series entitled "If I were a vase with flowers."
