About the Artist Back to Gallery

Three Times Moore is a photographic montage composed of three superimposed images of sculptures by Henry Moore. Through this layered composition, the artist reimagines Moore’s monumental bronze forms—traditionally associated with weight, solidity, and permanence—into ethereal, almost immaterial presences. The dense mass of metal appears to dissolve into light and transparency, as if the sculptures are suspended between physical reality and visual illusion.

The original works were photographed at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, where Moore’s sculptures are often displayed in dialogue with the surrounding landscape.
