self-hieroglyphics
irudia
Diego Sanchez’s latest work initially seemed came across as self-portraits made with simple collages, but what they now really seem to us to be are self- hieroglyphics. This is not an exercise in aestheticism. Based on an understanding of collage which involves using minimum layering and images, the artist conjures up pictures of himself. Indeed, in these collages, the integration of images is achieved by not integrating images. It seems that in these pictures the artist, rather than simply portraying who he is, is attempting to show what he doesn’t understand about himself.
