Adam Collier Noel Fragile Equanimity 36x72 inches Inspired by an original vintage photograph of a man doing a handstand on the beach, Fragile Equanimity combines paper ephemera, photographic transfer, paint with an beautiful UV polymer varnish surface. My relocation from the Midwest to South Florida is the impetus for an ongoing series of artwork with a personal narrative of self-discovery.The subsequent body of work serves as a enigmatic visual diary of artistic development and speaks to the power of transformation through translocation.Uprooting one’s life for a new and unfamiliar destination should be considered one of the great feats of strength in this world. I equate this undertaking with the exertion of a handstand; an acrobatic action that takes courage, determination, balance and at any moment can comecrashing down. The piece is a reminder that advancing frompoint A to point B can be a defining journey full of ‘handstand’ moments in which we attempt daring acts and find either harmony, instability or both. -- source link
