THE TRUTH IN PAINTING

Emily Dickinson said “tell the truth but tell it slant.” This crafty rendition of Derrida’s iconic work has been reticulated, articulated, ventriculated and exposed into a physical poem. Flipping through the severed pages, the truth is more present through observations of what is left out.While Derrida’s text expounds on an aesthetic experience that may happen when we are transformed by beauty, here shadows made by simple cartoon hearts give us breathing space for new thoughts and tactile sensations. It's a breath of fresh air for this cherished classic.
