Fish
April 28, 2007 | Installation |
My “Fish” impart a feeling halfway between life and death, and, depending on where and how they are installed, may resemble either. Arranged in water, they can be taken as a symbol of life and reawakening. Against a parched gloomy background, they may denote death and doom. And, installed in a dark pool of tar, they can be a protest against the destruction of our natural environment.
The forms are 15-35 centimetres in length, baked at 900°C and glazed, under reduction conditions, at 1000°C.
They are in a variety of colours (mostly in the red range) whose transition indicates motion. They can be installed in isolation or in combination, indoors or outdoors.
“Fish” may be installed in a variety of settings, ideally in a pond resembling the traditional Iranian turquoise “howze”.
