Mirror, Mirror
A large installation hangs on one wall. It is composed of two hundred photographs, three oil-on-canvas portraits, and one painting of a stained glove. The piece’s three parts deal with reflection and annulment. Reflecting the existent, annulling reflection, and the void which remains. Shame of the existent, shame of the absent.
From an interview with Sharon:
”I have worked all week long. I’ve inspected each time I managed to move one millimeter. Repeating the same process over and over again, going to bed with the feeling that something is dead. In the morning I drove to Haifa. I understood that the eye is the essence. Half a face. I could not get myself to draw the other half. For three months I’ve worked by a Xeroxed image until I understood I am pure of thoughts about art. Occupied with emphasizing the eye. The empty eye. The hole in midst of the glove. The metal tin engravings are made of. What do I find shameful. The correlation between myself and work. The hand. So long since it did something.”
