"Mirages" by the artist Sarah Nance
"Among the admired stars, wet by different rivers and by the dew, I only chose the star I loved and since then I have slept with the night."
The Hundred Love Sonnets, Pablo Neruda, 1959
Barely evaporated, the whole sea rose, as if crumpled, inverted into fleeting ephemera, into absent waters. The natural cycle still suspended leaves in the air this knot of particles woven with starry eyes. The lifted veil and the openwork mesh release the crystals which, slowed down to the extreme, sparkle and aggregate in millennia-old layers.
What if mirages were the threshold of unveiling the links between matter and life, the revelation of tiny cycles and the sensitive apparition of elementary phenomena at work on Earth?
Sarah Nance situates her practice in this other, fictional yet tangible space that reconfigures our relationships to the great uncertainties of time and nature. More than an alert, the adornments the artist wears in her works activate the necessity to constantly renew the stories of our fragile existences.
