Minutiae

Beyond the realm of the conscious, one’s mind is drawn beyond the realm of the conscious, soaring in the presence of […] Audrey Guttman’s subtle collages, denouncing the world’s difficult truths. A detail is never accidental, and never innocuous, when framed with intention. […] Reality accommodates the meaningless detail; in art, insignificance does not exist. The artist’s choice of the scene, person, or object that she will isolate, contain, and zoom in upon stems from her desire to kindle that “pleasure of the detail” so well described by the historian Daniel Arasse. - Excerpt from the text by Béatrice de Rochebouët
