Elegancia y renuncia, 2011
Dried leaf (ficus elastica japonicum), metal stands, slide projection (filter ref. 306 summer blue)
The work consists of a dried leaf held at its stem by a metal stand and a projector shining light through a prepared slide. Two groups of tiny differently sized circles have been incised in the somewhat elliptical (lanceolate) shaped ficus leaf. The artist's practice often highlights the uncanny correspondences between organic and geometric shapes.
