INSIGHT OUT


Video projection on sculpture by Gillian Brown, 2002 10" high on 40" stand.
Inspired by an illustration by Descartes of visual perception, Insight Out is a meditation on inner and outer vision

CONTROL OF NATURE



44" x 42", black and white photographs.
Control of Nature layers dance step diagrams with kissing or dancing couples and, in the center of the work, one lone young woman seated amidst empty chairs. Scientific illustrations of planetary and water movement further enrich associations.

SHE TOOK IT TO HEART



56" x 56", black and white photographs.
Here a classroom chart of an "invisible" model man is juxtaposed with diagrams of common, often clicheed, sentences that make references to the human body ("She took heart," "He was galled," etc.).

U N T I T L E D (Andover)



In this piece, from the "Constructed Photographs" show at the Addison Gallery of American Art, a found photograph from the '50s of students painting on easels in the museum is painted life-size over several surfaces.
