on accidental installation #3


the image to the left i hesitate to call accidental because there is intent. the tarpaulins are covering something. what i like about it are the folds in the material and the sense of solid place that it has, as if it belongs. it reminds me of renaissance painting - in particular those that depict the death of the virgin. below are details from Hugo Van Der Goes (1480) and Fernando Yanez (1508). the drapery looks frozen like the tarps. cold and stiff. sculptural.
