SCULPTURE ONE: PRESS RELEASE FOR ART SHOW
Within the white walls of RAM Gallery in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, the installation by Lady Simon, curated by Michelle Yun, consists of numerous stark lines of white yarn which systematically extend to the top of the room from three (also white) impasto-textured paintings on canvas. The sharp strokes shoot upwards to form a delicate chandelier-like shape that seems to barely hang from fragile anchors in the ceiling. The large-scale piece then falls into organic forms, mimicking spider webs or bird nests, which bleed into bursts of color that belong to a soft, earthy palette.
The dynamism and drama woven into the sculpture, aptly named Sculpture One, is inspired by Lady Simon's tumultuous experience of being homeless in New York for the last three years. The piece represents hardship, alongside triumph, over the many challenges he has overcome alone and together with friends among the New York art and nightlife community. The chaos of the sculpture is at times meticulously organized, jarringly tangled, weightlessly refined, and robustly textured. The variety of these elements crescendo into a heavy feeling of hard-earned hopefulness. A home.
together: storyboard for music video
A being in space with eyes forever closed, Ganymede, grips a chalice with animosity. As we zoom closer and closer into the cup, the viewer goes through the portal within. Inside, we see the Heroine, contorting in a pool of light. As she writhes, her body expands beyond her imprisoned realm. The Heroine eventually grows stronger and escapes from the vessel where she emerges onto a post-apocalyptic beach. She explores a desolate, alien city where she discovers an underground gathering. There, the Heroine feels the presence of Ganymede, her creator and jailor. She is consumed by rage. She lusts to annihilate him. The Heroine walks through walls of distortion in her desperate search to destroy Ganymede. There, beyond any and all walls, they finally converge.
