Caprice #1, 1994

Mixed media or assemblage

200mm x 280mm x 65mm

This work consists of four items attached to a painted background that could be seen as a sky. Starting from the left, the first item is constructed of a folded reproduction of a face. Then there are two more abstract wooden items, positioned on top of eachother. The last item is an abstract painting, on a cut out piece of paper. A deep, grey painted frame, with a blue edge on the inside, holds everything together. The whole piece evokes a surrealist atmosphere.
