"the enormity of selin's work cannot help but envelop you. just as the monoliths from "space odyssey 2001" can be read as the creator or destroyer of beings, the ominous, black iridescence of Womb/Tomb takes the form of a spaceship and elicits the feeling that it has landed on this planet, dropped off by some otherworldly figure into the clean gallery space. unlike in the film, however, the acute feeling of transcendence by way of technological innovation generated by selin's work feels not so perilous. selin revels in the processes of fabrication, and the undulating lucite plates elicit a topography that simultaneously appears dynamic and complete.

 

after all, Ear and Lemon are inevitably legible, even if their parts recede into and grow out of each other. but then, you have something more abstract like Mother, which uses the same medium and technique while declining to form a complete, figurative image. perhaps some innate obsessive curiosity compels me to search for familiarity in Mother. perhaps the works' creator and viewers feel compelled to envelop themselves in titles and images that are undergoing constant evolution."
