Etz no. 10, no. 13
Artist: Sylvia Safdie
Work ID: 9360
Description: A note on the Petria and Etz series:
'Sylvia Safdie has worked extensively on paper for the last few years, more recently using sheets of semi-transparent vellum for her large scale drawings. Redolent of fermentation and growth, trembling on the brink of birth, or death, in any case, of imminent metamorphosis, her language of organic form is both original and poetic.
One of these Etz drawings is composed of two or more sheets of the same size laid upon another. The underlying sheets, with their proto-iconography, contribute to the overall composition and not always in an overt or easily recognizable way. Ghosts seep through from the underlying layers, shadows from deeper strata are barely glimpsed but nonetheless achieve a certain self-presense on the surface, somewhat like vast, troubling shapes seen moving beneath the surface of still water.'
James D. Campbell, Montreal on paper, Centre Saidye Bronfman, Montreal, 1989, pg. 14.The works in the Etz and Petria series are in many private and public collections.

Threshold version 3
Artist: Sylvia Safdie
Work ID: 63976
Description: "Threshold is the title of a work composed of a pile of stones and a kind of empty aluminum bowl or jar. Stones (nature) and bowl (fabrication) are set on the floor at a distance. Between the two is a sheet of glass. A separation. But in one sense it draws them closer, and even confounds them, because if one stands in the right place one can see, in reflection, the pile of stones in the bowl, as if it had just been filled and now contained them all. On one side, a multiple mass, a dispersion, a plurality, a pile of litte bits; and on the other an open, welcoming vase, a beautiful unified form, smooth and empty, a hollow enveloping Oneness. In sum, in this work, the multiple, the unformed, the dispersed, take form and unify themselves in a large vase, a whole tribe of little-ones united in and by this Oneness. But it's a reflection, an illusion. The real plurality of stone is not unified; it makes no group, no body, no Whole, except in the virtuality and the illusion of a reflection.
A question though: where is the work? Is it a pile of pebbles and the large basin? Is it the glass between them? Is it the reflection in the glass where the images meet? Is it in the gaze of the spectator where the reflection in imprinted...
It is a work of sculpture as much as a work of philosophy, because while it creates illusion, it also shows this illusion as illusion, showing that it is only an illusion, and what an illusion is. In sum, it shows the truth of illusion..."

Threshold version 2
Artist: Sylvia Safdie
Work ID: 63977
Description: "Threshold is the title of a work composed of a pile of stones and a kind of empty aluminum bowl or jar. Stones (nature) and bowl (fabrication) are set on the floor at a distance. Between the two is a sheet of glass. A separation. But in one sense it draws them closer, and even confounds them, because if one stands in the right place one can see, in reflection, the pile of stones in the bowl, as if it had just been filled and now contained them all. On one side, a multiple mass, a dispersion, a plurality, a pile of litte bits; and on the other an open, welcoming vase, a beautiful unified form, smooth and empty, a hollow enveloping Oneness. In sum, in this work, the multiple, the unformed, the dispersed, take form and unify themselves in a large vase, a whole tribe of little-ones united in and by this Oneness. But it's a reflection, an illusion. The real plurality of stone is not unified; it makes no group, no body, no Whole, except in the virtuality and the illusion of a reflection.
A question though: where is the work? Is it a pile of pebbles and the large basin? Is it the glass between them? Is it the reflection in the glass where the images meet? Is it in the gaze of the spectator where the reflection in imprinted...
It is a work of sculpture as much as a work of philosophy, because while it creates illusion, it also shows this illusion as illusion, showing that it is only an illusion, and what an illusion is. In sum, it shows the truth of illusion..."
