  • The Trembling Fires of Dreams: An Installation

    11.13.10

    In contrast to the last “deer-related” post, this is an intriguing installation artwork by Gene Guynn, titled The Trembling Fires of Dreams, which is made from resin, enamel, and yarn, and depicts a lying white deer being circled by two black jackals. The deer has a triangle opening painted on its side, seeming to indicate a kind of vivisection, the exposure of the deer’s internals, with multicolored strands of yarn stretching up and outwards, and also pinning the deer down to the ground on either side. The jackals are attached to all black, frayed strings.
