You and Me 2010

This artwork, You and Me, by Camilla d'Errico, looks like a big grey geometric form, maybe painted wood, crashed to the floor. I can see the artist's hand in the way it's constructed, shifting and emerging through trial, error, and intuition. I really sympathize with the artist! I wonder, were they thinking about gravity and the way things break? It's got this great texture, this pale grey surface. There's a kind of physicality here, with the paint thick in some places and peeling away in others, revealing earlier layers. That one gesture, the place where it collapses, that communicates a lot of feeling, intention, maybe even a little bit of chaos. It also reminds me of the work of other artists who are playing with geometry and destruction. I mean, we’re all in an ongoing conversation, right? We build on each other's ideas, inspire each other’s creativity. It's about embracing ambiguity and allowing for multiple interpretations. It isn’t fixed.
