Provenance

The work belongs to the ongoing series titled The Glass Dream Game. Ededéen follows a specific process that gives rise to a varied and personal body of work. Each painting begins with a chance selection of six books from the artist’s library, interweaving the disparate references from every subject to create a space of meditation and interdisciplinarity. Intermittently adding and scraping away paint, he performs a kind of excavation, in which disparate elements gradually take shape in our visual field, reflecting the artist’s continued exploration of the unconscious, the workings of human thought and our present cultural moment. In the Shell is the Seed for the Tree Without End presents a rumination on the echoes between such disparate sources, as writings of the critic Harold Bloom, a collection of American short stories, and a publication on the daily meditation practice.
