Life+Times Presents: Dan Colen, A Retrospective

“And She Smiled Sweetly,” 2010, Brick wall, concrete, steel, re-bar, 156 x 284 x 100 inches

“Places like The Western Wall and Mecca have always been a great source of inspiration for me. Something so many people travel so far just to see and to touch, something so many people decide to put their faith in–a wall, a brick. Although everything else around them has fallen, crumbled or been destroyed, these certain things refuse to. I love how much this piece reads like a dead end but secretly or quietly is really about new beginnings or a new potential.”
