SEAN EDWARDSGiorgio’s image shows two cats moving through two cat flaps in the same door, with an image culled from an art book or magazine. There is a clear act of doubling taking place within the image so, taking Giorgio’s minimal gesture
with my previous image, I have reflected the image and created a doppelganger. In some ways it relates to the repetition of showing the same two artists in consecutive shows.
B. 1980, Cardiff, based Abergavenny.

GIORGIO SADOTTI‘I am you to’ is the echo, the reminder of potential action.
Sean's image was found on the cover of a newspaper and involved a photograph of a vandalized city centre flower display. I did not alter Sean's image, but changed the orientation.
B. 20th Century, Stockport, based London.
Giorgio Sadotti gained his BA Fine Art from Trent Polytechnic (1978), his MA Sculpture from Manchester University (1979), and his MFA from University of Syracuse, New York (1981). Sadotti has exhibited in solo and group shows internationally since 1993.
