I like the word you suggested 'stasis' meaning.. "a period or state of inactivity or equilibrium" This describes what i have been looking at quite well so far.. but also describes a period of activity (in this example decay)
Inspired from Cindy Sherman's early works from the 'disgust' collection
(Scanned and uploaded, 'Untitled 175, from Disgust Pictures')
Interesting distinction between "static" and "stasis"...
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree that stasis can be a kind of dynamic stability, and is perhaps best regarded that way even when there doesn't seem to be much going on!
