Devorah Sperber is exhibiting at Art Paris – which brings together emerging and established artists in painting, photography, sculpture, and more. Sperber takes multi-colored spools of thread and arranges them in a way so that they appear like pixels. Taken as a whole, the spools look like a "hot mess," in other words, like your grandma went crazy and glue gunned her thread collection on a wall. Look through a "viewing sphere" (a small, transparent ball) that's conveniently placed in front of the piece, however, and get ready to be amazed. As Brooklyn Museum states, "Sperber deconstructs familiar images so that the brain can reconstruct them. Her framed crystal reproductions similarly address the way we think we see versus the way the brain processes visual information."
