HART Nr. 228

“As I gaze with fascination at the images of the Pillars of Creation taken with the James Webb telescope and try to imagine how something as wonderful as a star could arise from these erratic clouds of gas and dust, my mind drifts to the exhibition Tom and Sue from TR Ericsson at Harlan Levey Projects. I am thinking of the works on canvas where the artist reproduced letters, family photos and notes from his mother Sue using a mixture of her own ash, alcohol, nicotine, graphite and resin. "From dust you were born, and to dust you shall return," the biblical saying confronting man with his transience, was nowhere more penetrating and tangible than here.”
