1997 EDGE OF THE FOREST
“Edge of the Forest” was the first of 4 installations created in Colombia. 12 paintings join together in a square 360 degree configuration. The viewer finds themselves in an exotic garden with a house on one side and the rain forest on the opposite side. It represented Damian’s choice at that time: to stay in the life he had grown accustomed to or to venture into the unknown.
