Baila Goldenthal : Collages : Walls of Prophecy |
|
|
|
Walls of Prophecy (1983) were inspired by biblical texts. The surface folds of fabric are hardened and painted with glazes. The tearing, peeling, layered effect evokes the passage of historical time and resolves into an almost totally symbolic use of space. These works, deal with the ambiguity of 'time' and the interchangeability of 'inner' (psychological) and 'outer' (physical) space. |
