Love and other strangers, 2021 examines the space above an architectural form. Although the resemblance is subtle, Love and other strangers, 2021 consciously evokes terraced housing commonly found in cities that flourished during the Industrial Revolution. Gaston Bachelard’s book, The Poetics of Space, explores how people sleep better and dream more in their childhood home, the reason being: that “home” protects the sleeper. Although Wine’s sculpture isn’t based on a specific place, it points to a limited space that is confined by small rooms, narrow streets, and back alleys. To Wine, this limitation of space resonates with the three cloud-like forms above the building that seem to offer a visual representation of metaphysically leaving the home through the act of dreaming. Forms that appear in a dream are somehow never truly complete in the way that they exist in the real world, and Wine believes that anything one dreams has the potential to morph into something else. Love and other strangers, 2021 utilizes the physical space above this fictional building as a stage for exploration – Wine’s three amorphous forms explore this otherworldly domain in different ways: one points directly upward, another deviates horizontally, and the third sits into elbow-like knuckles.
