Kaari Upson : 2000 words

For Kaari Upson (born 1972), possessions are the gateway into the human psyche. Contained within them are all the hopes, dreams, fears, and desires of their owners. Like a shaman, Upson creates her own gateways, using unorthodox techniques to imbue everyday objects with an arcane magic. The result is auratic works that act as powerful, haunting symbols of absence, failed aspirations, and loneliness.
