FIG. 1, FIG.2
Chiffon, wood, dye, metal rods, resin, acrylic paint
243.84 X 121.92 x 86.36 (96 x 48 x 34 in)
Two human forms are suspended on parallel planes of chiffon.
The upper body is rendered in pale pigment.
The lower body is rendered in dark pigment.
Both are incomplete when viewed from any single angle.
Full legibility requires movement.
Air alters their alignment.
Distance fluctuates.
Contact does not occur.
One figure appears to rise.
One appears to settle.
The structure holding them remains fixed.
The bodies do not.
Gravity is present in both directions.
The meat knows freedom comes only when the dirt wins.
NOTE:
The suspended bodies are based on MRI imagery.
Sections of the human form were taken from medical scans and reinterpreted in acrylic on silk.
The shapes are not imagined.
They originate in diagnostic imaging, where the body is read in slices rather than as a whole.
