‘bodies, i have in mind, and how they can change to assume new shapes’ (ovid’s metamorphoses)
“bodies, i have in mind, and how they can change to assume new shapes” (ovid’s metamorphoses) 2006 two copies of Ovid’s Metamorphoses cut apart line by line / word by word and assembled with tape onto mylar into fifteen ‘spirals’ (one constructed from each chapter of the book), morphing from a circle in piece #1 to a butterfly in piece #15. The piece itself has undergone several metamorphoses, as the fifteen pieces have been exhibited in several very different incarnations......twice in the form of a continuous ‘scroll’ nearly 30 feet long, twice in three strips of five segments each, and most recently as 15 discrete pieces, in a row and, in my favorite incarnation, a 3x5 grid.
