The Harlequin appears in Dante's Inferno: Roaming the streets with a band of devils, searching for souls to drag back to Hell; In Medieval French miracle plays; to more positive and mystical interpretations with a multi-colored diamond-patterned costume that embodies the many-sidedness and richness of life.


The Harlequin exists is in a world alien to ours – a surreal world of chaos, dreams and constant flux. A virtual world, without texture, plastic, strange. This work, as part of a series, creates a parallel universe and space-time continuum.
