'That The Sky Is Above Us, Even When We Do Not See It'

This particular piece is part of a project that I immersed myself in for a little over two years. Some said that I had fallen from the planet during this time, but I was there (in my studio) day and night working happily on a series of collages that would eventually evolve into collage-sculptures. This project was the beginning of my exploration not only into collage, but more importantly, into paper, color, concept, placement and pattern. ‘That The Sky is Above Us, Even When We Do Not See It’ is one of four collage-sculptures that I worked on during this period. I created each on a bottle that I used as a glass canvas, and like the greek vases of red or black figures, each bottle was meant to be rotated to be able to better understand and view the entire narrative gist or story.
