INSTALLATION VIEWS
THE SCARECROW, 2020
Mixed media installation, dimensions variable
Square steel profiles, welding wire, metal rings, metal angles, metal clips, tent pegs, tent tensioning, storm protection, Contra H fabric,
velcro tape, stretch film, mirror film, spray paint, protective gloves, fencing mask, plastic raven, dahlia plants, solar lights, pebbles.
Aside from the functionality and purpose of the object itself, the term ’scarecrow‘ is associated with ideas and content
that articulate aspects of being exposed, of being frightened to the point of being uncanny and this potential is crucial to the installation.
THE SCARECROW – it is a sight trap that adapts the construction of real scarecrows to model an artificial appearance:
Starting from the here and now, it wants to abduct the viewer into another world.
