Hierophania, 2009-10 (steel pen, self-made steel tools on wall)


I'm actually planning to go to my parents house in the summer to do some house renovating - namely rendering the outside walls of the house - partially to help them out, but also to become familiar with cement as a material in the way that it's supposed to be use before I decide to do interesting things with it.

This particular artwork works because of the space it's in - it fits with the warehouse-y thing that's going on - seems like the artist has used a stencil for the circular marking. It reminds me a bit of the residue left behind from a sticker - it looks natural enough to make me wonder what might have happened there - it's sort of supernatural in a way.
