Double Story No:1

Whether you need to warm up or cool down, the choice is yours!

Not getting the whole picture in one go is part of the human condition. This work offers a glimpse of the whole — but we can only observe the work from one side at a time. Describing something that’s the same for both sides, regardless of which side you‘re on — and even knowing there's another, there is a realisation that our inability to engage with its entirety is real. Nevertheless, it is through the inverse (reciprocal expressions) that truth is revealed — there are two sides to every story, yet, it is all one.

The art piece is ‘sandwich-framed’ to show one side or the other as you please. It is hung within the back frame. So, there is no need for a wire just two hooks mounted against the wall.

My curved 'canvases' are treated as three-dimensional objects. However, rather than approaching the relationship between solidity and space like a sculptor would, I aim to return to the "flat two-dimensional picture plane." Why is this important?

Nature loves curves. To connect as closely with nature as possible, since we are all part of the same energy, curves challenge us to move beyond linear thinking. This type of thinking often simplifies our daily decisions into straightforward cause-and-effect scenarios. In contrast, curves allow us to explore the ambiguity between the present and the future. The tension inherent in a curve, when juxtaposed with the comfort of a flat plane, invites us on a transformative, nonlinear journey. This journey encourages deeper reflection and meditation on our observations.

Since 2004, I've been evolving this aesthetic thought.
