Resting Between Blades.
A love story. (2020)
Wood , shirts , mirror
I make use of scissors as a personal symbol. Scissors have the capacity to cut, but what if we imagine the space created in-between the action, the space between the blades? What if that space could bear us for a moment in the present, like a nest, like a refuge. I create sculptures in a collage manner, combining objects I make with objects I find. "e shape of the scissor resembles both male and female genitals, they are neither nor. It is the bearer of life’s multiplicity and complexion.
