The micro world floats across the surface of LEGEND, a map of the ancient Mediterranean collaged with images of period art works and papered with transparent dress patterns. The whole is framed with a DNA spiral adornment.
These evocative collages are manufactured in the editing and arrangement of ideas and images. The artist presents us with a variety of associations and questions useful in the understanding of our world. We are left to supply the answers.
