Skrevet af Moki
Artist Moki branches out into new mediums in her latest monograph, which
features evocative images picked out in black, white and many tones of
unpainted wood that serves to make its audience question their own
definition of shelter. Stark white figures stand out against the
complexity of wood grain and deep black backgrounds; faces peer out from
haphazard structures evocative of handmade shelters and children s tree
houses. Collapsing shanties contrast with images of lovers entwined in
close embraces and lone figures carrying what is seemingly everything
they own on their backs or in small carts. Whether deceptively simple or
overwhelming in their depth, Moki s pieces evoke a twinge of melancholy
and a sense of the uncanny, tempered as always by the beauty and
skilled craftsmanship of her work.
