As no my thical creature
is without its lore, each of
Viola’s remarkable images has
a title, quote, poem or story
to accompany them. From her
project V.A.R.I.A.T.I.O.N., her image
of a delicate swan and ballerina
tucked into themselves and
entwined with each other reads:
“...All around the surroundings
were morphing and the Guardian
itself was transforming into other
entities. Was this internal voice
actually from the Guardian or
from entities nearby? A swan. Was
this the Guardian? Was there any
distinct difference between these
entities or w ere they one single
thing, a morphing entity?” Calling
on our sense of self versus other,
of individuation and collection,
of real and unreal, Viola’s vivid
imagination gives breath to all
things possible.
