Experiencing the installation...
Odette Graskie "Human Noise"
The installation is composed of elements from two bodies of work:
The Sorrows
Sorrow (n.)
1. an unspoken intensity of feeling.
2. a spark of transcendence that punctuates the flatlining banality of everyday life.
3. a healthy kind of ache - that reminds you that you exist.
These bodies are a dance of humanity, and each form contains its own possible story mingles with the others. They explore man's existence in relation to forms that could be human too.The Sorrows are at times tragic and other times entirely silly. The work embodies the frail existence we all live as humans.
Ambedo
Ambedo (n.)
Becoming totally absorbed in vivid sensory details.
The work references the forest, letting the world say what it wants. These sculptures are represented as bouncing, anthropomorphic trees, the artist's imagined secret lives of the tress.
