Entrapment
Stills from a slideshow (32 images)
Shafts of sunlight move over a profusion of webs illuminating fragments, an expression of sensual experience in a structure built to trap. A place impenetrable to arachnophobes.
Tattoo
The light is like a spider.
It crawls over the water.
It crawls over the edges of the snow.
It crawls under your eyelids
And spreads its webs there--
Its two webs.
The webs of your eyes
Are fastened
To the flesh and bones of you
As to rafters or grass.
There are filaments of your eyes
On the surface of the water
And in the edges of the snow.
Wallace Stevens
From 'Harmonium' 1916
Entrapment was originally shown in the exhibition Fobos at the City Gallery annex, Opole, Poland 2011. Subsequently at 'Collaborators 3' ROOM, London, 2012
