David Humphrey [detail of installation, “Snowman in Love”]
David Humphrey said goodbye to his “Snowman in Love” at Triple Candie last night, and we were there to watch as fifteen dancing and very physically-engaged, recently-retired holiday airbags were rapidly reduced to sad nylon sacks* when their lifeline compressor was switched off.
The work was a challenge to photograph as an instalaltion but a delightful subject for abstraction in closeup.
