"Noah Kalina's sculpted bedding photos are a combination of
obvious, albeit clever staging and the lucky happenstance
combinations of pattern, texture, lighting, and sculptural
gravitas. We are presented with something so very common or
accepted to the point of dismissal, but after the artist styles the
scene we are surprised at how fresh and completely new our
perspective allows the object or setting to transcend the banal and
become extraordinary." - F-Stop Magazine When we think of beds, we
usually think of them as neatly made, waiting to be used. Noah
Kalina wanted to undo that, to pull back the covers and sculpt a
monumental shape out of the fabric where our bodies would be, and
where our bodies have been, as both a still-life (of the materials
of sleep) and a portrait (of someone's presence). Bedmounds is the
culmination of Kalina's long-term project creating and capturing
sculptural forms in the middle of beds around the world. The mounds
appear to take on anthropomorphic qualities, highlighting the
relationship between presence and absence. Bedmounds takes a common
scene and adds a twist - subverting what we are expecting to see by
inserting something unanticipated.
