Hieronimus Bosch

Reserved

Ralph D. Woop

2012

A surreal, historically charged composition evoking fantastical imagery. The work sits especially well in a curatorial context. The historical technique of cyanotype lends the motif an archival depth in which light, paper and memory interact. The composition invites slow contemplation, in which motif, material and atmosphere gradually become legible.
