WHEN THE RAYS OF THE SUN MEET THE STONES AND CAST THEIR SHADOWS LIKE CUTTING KNIFES, THE OPTICAL WORLD BECOMES ALMOST HALLUCINATORY.
Since 2015, I live in Greece.
One of my first — and most intensive - visual experi- ences was a visit to the Aphaea temple on the island of Aegina under the midday sun of June. People in Greece traditionally make their siesta during the brightest midday hours: this is the hour of the Greek ghosts, when the landscape is dominated by heat, silence, and emptiness During these hours, the eye is intrigued by the contras- ting play of shadow and light.
"Rocks" (2015-2017) is a series of ink drawings/collages on paper inspired by the shapes of ancient remains, unfinished concrete structures, and the rocky and sparse beauty that characterize the archaic landscape of Arcadia.
