\"LowerI met\u00a0Steve Tilden, a metal sculptor and long-time Blackfish Gallery artist, a decade ago when I asked his permission to use a photograph of one of his sculptures in one of my montages. We have collaborated on several projects since, exhibited together and, most importantly, stretched each other’s thinking around various topics of shared interest.<\/p>\n

A recurring\u00a0theme in Steve’s body of work is mythology and last year he produced a number of sculptures together with glass artist Jen Fuller focussed on\u00a0mythological themes with\u00a0a modern slant. I, in turn, photographed their work and incorporated it into montages around the story of Icarus. My\u00a0series,\u00a0Free Fall<\/em>,\u00a0\u00a0alluded to\u00a0contemporary flights too close to the sun and the subsequent crashes – each image represented a location where airplane disasters had happened, and each had a bird in it referring to Icarus and his hubris. You can see more of the images and description of the project at www.friderikeheuer.com<\/a><\/p>\n

I would have never delved into mythology had it not been for these joint ventures. What I learned in school about the Greeks and Romans was forever tainted by having to take Latin for too many years. Through another artist’s eyes I came to understand\u00a0the universality of the themes and why they still matter for contemporary art. Trying to find interesting ways to make our two mediums intersect proved to be an intellectual challenge – something we both welcomed. But collaboration offers something more: an audience that reacts to your suggestions in a timely fashion, so potential\u00a0criticism can be incorporated and your work improved. And collaborative feedback comes in a\u00a0constructive fashion \u00a0since you and your collaborator have shared goals. \u00a0Today’s montage – Lower Manhattan – \u00a0consists of a photograph of metal feathers made by Steve, an Anhinga (ancestor to the cormorant) that I found in a Florida swamp, and the view from the 9\/11 memorial in NYC.<\/p>\n
