Video: Jeremy Mora's small world

While the hero of one of our previous articles David DiMichele photographs monumental installations that exist only in his imagination, Los Angeles author Jeremy Mora (Jeremy Mora) does the opposite: his sculptures are absolutely real, but there is no question of scale. They say that at the exhibitions of this author, spectators kneeling or even lying on the floor of the gallery are not uncommon, because otherwise it is simply impossible to see Jeremy's miniatures in all details!
Jeremy Mora says that there was a period in his life when he was engaged in the creation of paintings. Once, while working on one of his projects, he took a book apart into pages, placed them on the wall and painted an image on top of them. The layer of paint was so thick that the painting took on an almost sculptural form. More than the drawing itself, however, Jeremy was interested in the buttons holding the book pages on the wall. Obeying some vague impulse, the author took one of the buttons, dipped it into plaster mortar and thrust it horizontally into the wall. In this subject, Jeremy saw some form, and it was at this moment, according to the author, that he decided to move from painting to sculpture.
Jeremy assures that he loves to work with small scales. He enjoys watching the viewer, wanting to get a better look at the sculpture, leans closer and closer to it. “Given the peculiarities of our vision, when you are too close to something, then this“something”for a couple of moments becomes everything that you see - everything else does not exist in those moments,” says Jeremy Mora.
The main theme of Jeremy More's sculptures is the relationship between culture and nature, and, according to the author, it is possible to overcome the differences existing in this area only through destruction. At the same time, the sculptor notes that in his works he does not seek to tell a story "from A to Z". On the contrary, he leaves in each sculpture elements of understatement that each viewer can interpret in his own way.
