Kevin Arrow
Four Lucky Amulets or Auspicious Symbols for Health, Happiness, Prosperity and Love,2022
Retelling a dream is easy in practice and, in truth, impossible. Kevin Arrow described these works as “impossible objects”—in their varied iterations, the images resemble a hovering, shapeshifting figure that visited his room at night, in a dream, when he was a child. When he was still little, he enjoyed the simplicity and pleasure of cutting construction paper and arranging it into new forms—selecting colors intuitively, letting the paper determine the outlines. It’s a meditative process he revisits here, as an adult, remembering.
