Black Ark

2014
Bas-relief in salvaged wood #102, engraved 310 x 105 x 16 cm.
Private collection, Berlin, Germany.




Black Ark fuses worlds that are far apart. The shape of the work is based on a boulder from the D20 ‘hunebed’ (dolmen) in Drenthe, NL. The wood covering Black Ark has black paint over a green base. It is engraved with copies of contemporary shamanic drawings by Lee Perry at his Black Ark studio in Jamaica.
