Interior Landscape, 2012
Elements of constructed perspective are explored in overlapping scenes along a continuous horizon line. Carved recesses, inset mirrors, and a meniscus lens add to the optical artifice and manipulation of scale. Anatomical and architectural drawings are collaged with ink, graphite, acrylics, and mineral oil. The pages are sawn from a single piece of salvaged lumber, and fitted with custom brass hinges allowing full rotation. Original text is by the artist.
Dimensions: 3.5 x 3.25 x 1.5 inches; 9 x 8 x 4 centimeters
Wood, glass, paper, bone, brass.
