“I think perfection is ugly.
Somewhere in the things humans make,
I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion.”


― Yohji Yamamoto



Black on one side, colorful on the other side, from two-dimensional still life drawing into three-dimensional landscape in a sophisticated marriage of scale and color, Zadok Ben David‘s Blackfield installation is blanketing the main gallery floor with more than 12,000 petite steel cut plant sculptures arise out of a thin layer of sand. Perfectly rectangular, the installation allots a path for the viewer to circulate the room. With one complete pass, what initially appears to be all black reveals a double life of rebellious color.
All the flowers and plants derives from botanical illustrations from Victorian sources and text books.
