| A Thousand Words;
Derek Michael Besant RCA, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, 2012 The quiet aftermath everything as ash slow motion deafness page strewn blindness smoke dissolving to nothing taking with it human remains the dog by the doorway finding his master's shoe wondering when they will be going home. I wanted my image to be reminiscent of the scene after the unsuspected explosion across the site somewhere between the familiar and unfamiliar, recognition and loss. Accordion 12 pp book in plastic sleeve; Printed in UV ink transfer on Mayfair Cover stock, folded; 8" x 10" finish size expanding to 8 feet long Though I practice traditional techniques in printmaking, I also work in unconventional materials and technologies associated with advances in the billboard and industrial printing industry. Themes of Sleep, Migration, Drowning, Falling, Presence + Absence fill my museum exhibition themes and public art installations. Recent projects in London, Brighton, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK; Vienna, Austria; Budapest and Györ, Hungary; Krakow, Poland, and Nuit Blanche 2012 coming in Paris, France. besantd@telus.net www.derekbesant.com |
