Weekly archive. Week one. Es Devlin. Stage designer, visionary, artist.
Es Devlin tests the limits of human perception. Her grandiose vision in regards to stage design has been nothing short of phenomenal. Es Devlin over her career has set a new precedent for stage design. Her use of light, raw human emotion, and the abstract has influenced her industry, the music industry, and the art world.
Es’s use of light, mirrors, and other mediums is extremely complex yet so refined it seems nearly simple. It resonates with me at an extremely personal level. I have always had complex ideas. Too complex that I have a difficult time expressing my reality through any medium. I have never considered the approach Es has. Why try to understand other’s perceptions and implement them in your work? I should be creating things that express my perceptions in a way that makes sense to me. The interpretation is up to the viewer. Es inspires me to create attractive, simple things that test boundaries and generate thought through pure uncertainty.
