Untitled installation (1991)
Photo emulsion on canvas, oil paint, transparency, mirrored ball
1414 Monterey, 3rd floor |
| | In the first room, he has stacked a spiral of canvases, each one painted several times, with the various layers dripping over the sides of the canvas. The final layer is painted blue. Some canvases bear a portion of the image of a photographic nude. Stacked in the spiral, the overlapping canvases form three complete figures, each of which appears to rise. |  |
|  | In the second room, a rotating mirrored ball reflects off a light set into the floor, covering the walls with moving circles of lights. |
| | A light box in the ceiling is constructed around the mirrored ball. It is built to illuminate a transparency of a rising figure. |  |
