Perceptual Threshold

Artist

Mikael Sandblom

Description

This is a layered, multimedia piece consisting of woven tapestry, transparent elements and digital imagery printed on metal and Plexiglas. I like how you can see the surface of materials: the weave in the fabric, the lines on the plexi, and the grid in the image but then suddenly, you see through to an image of water behind the picture plane. You can move back and forth, between the surface and image. It’s always one or the other. You can’t see them at the same time.
