Madness & Mysticism

Kirche am Steinhof, Vienna, Austria, 2016
Curated by David Rastas

This sculptural arrangement features seven large scale sewing needles made from polyester resin. Each of the needles is the precise length corresponding to the height of the artist. The needle is both a symbol of pain and of repair. It can puncture the skin thus causing a wound and it can also be used to stitch the wound closed to facilitate healing.
