This is a double install, and offers many great opportunities for creative lighting, owing to highly reflective surfaces.
Of course- the enchantment of the legendary sirens is to drive man to ruin. The victim is willing – hence the stigma of
bewitchment. My 2 beauties are inspired by my beauteous wife, Teresa - and my electrifying daughter, Isabella. They seem
to me to operate as a team.
In the presence of these mighty symbols of feminine power, one develops a feeling of being slowly seduced, in a lullaby
effect. And that’s about as successful as an art piece can get. So as the creator, I am supremely satisfied with the result- that
of being seduced by own work. I invite you to do enjoy the same.
