"Mirages" by the artist Sarah Nance
"Among the admired stars, wet by different rivers and by the dew, I have only chosen the star I loved and since that time I sleep with the night." The Hundred Love Sonnets, Pablo Neruda, 1959
Barely evaporated, the entire sea rose, like creased, inverted into transient ephemera, into absent waters. The natural cycle still suspended leaves in the air this knot of particles woven from starred ocelli. The lifted veil and the opened mesh free the crystals that, slowed to the extreme, sparkle and aggregate in multi-secular layers.
And if the mirages were the threshold of the unveiling of the links between matter and life, the revelation of minute cycles and the sensitive appearance of elemental phenomena at work on Earth? Sarah Nance situates her practice in this other space, fictional yet tangible, which reconfigures our relationships to the great vagaries of time and nature. The attire the artist dons in her works activates the necessity to constantly renew the narratives of our fragile existences.
