Artist of the Month: Above

above

As there are so many artists we would like to share our humble space with, I thought I would start at A and work my way slowly and carefully to Z.

A is for…. Above. I first stumbled across this work about 2 years ago, and it is still not really clear who this artist is, or what exactly is being expressed through the installation-type pieces. Contemplating the questions, such as What is above? and Can you feel Above? have led to fascinating and memorable conclusions, but still (it seems) no closer to the truth.

Perhaps this quote (which appears on the Above website) has something to do with it. “Ten People Who Speak Make More Noise Than Ten Thousand Who Are Silent” - Napolean Bonaparte

On the eternal quest for truthiness (as inspired by Stephen Colbert), I still ask, as the website suggests, what is Above?

I would appreciate any additional information on this fascinating and enigmatic artist. If you find something out and don’t tell me, I will be very, very cross.
