ABSENCE
Elliot Collins
23 November - 20 December 2007

The text is taken from Tony Kushner's play "Angels in America" when an angel refers to God having left heaven. My work is not about any particular kind of absence. It's about what takes the place of things, objects or people when they are no longer there. The mirror ball is an ironic take on this theory of absence. It is bright and shiny and reflects its surroundings and warps perspectives. Sadly it can never show itself. It is only what it reflects and without that reflection there would only be absence.
