The Rise and Fall of Your Chosen Empire

Ltd Ink Corporation, Edinburgh, 16th – 24th February 2019.

The Rise and Fall of Your Chosen Empire presents a new body of work that explores the concepts of monumentality and ornament. The bas reliefs presented in this exhibition are a result of optical art techniques applied to figurative subjects.

<< Walking through a place with a long history, we encounter traces of the place’s past; the traces form the identity of the place and somehow our identity too. What we admire today used to be monuments and artworks; now they are displaced fragments. What kind of traces will we leave? >>
