Is Art Timeless?
My expedition through time continues…
“For fun I am spending the three weeks in April/May time-traveling with two of works of mine, Earrings No.21 and Mondrian Earrings No.22. Many artists wonder if their work will last beyond their lifetime. I am no exception. But so far it is impossible to travel into the future to find out. However, I think perhaps art can travel into the past or bring the past to the present. This month I am exploring the idea of whether these works can travel through time by holding it up to iconic women in art from different eras and cultures. So far the illusion and play on perception has me mesmerized.”
