\nNADIA BELERIQUE, ‘Everything, All The Time’, 2020.
\nMaple wood, stained glass, copper, tape, lead.
\n(it appears to be . . ‘human size’.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nwhat struck me as so interesting about this, otherwise at first glance – so, very simple piece \/ were 2 things.<\/p>\n

one: the use of stained glass<\/strong>, esp. in such a narrative way, but also as a visual addition to a sculpture. and a wooden, stand-alone one at that.
\nglass, and stained glass in particular . . being a recurring subject here on artlovers lately, and trending, apparently in the art world . . in general.
\nthis sculpture is notable for the beautiful, and well, the truly exquisite and subtle color of the stained, leaded stained glass detail, but also most curiously for the lack of, or at least \/ extremely narrow . . translucent and \/ or transparent ‘zone’. being fashioned, seeminggly flat . . onto the wood’s surface.
\nBeing attached to the wood at a close call \/ the pale glass is not a window to see thru \/ but a kind of shallow light, or reflection.
\nyet, for all that narrowness, it retains a deft . . dynamic. very curious, & very skilled. and also so controlled by narrative vision, and yet: in a seemingly spontaneous gesture, too.<\/p>\n

two: the narrowness of the entire piece, the narrowness of the 2 upright human silhouettes, and yes, even the distance between time, struck me so much – as it jumped to my mind immediately as a Covid metaphor, for today’s limited and, often wounded . . social interaction.
\neven the stained glass elements, pale yellow ?, white ? gray ?
\nstruck me as . . sickly, pale in hope . . \/ certainly not bright and sunny.
\nbut still: reaching out, for a pat. a touch. a connection.
\nthis is no steamy ‘kissing’ embrace \/ this is Covid. cautious. limited. wounded. wavering on the brink of human contact. <\/p>\n
