MY RECENT WORK CONTINUES TO EXPLORE THE INTERNAL AS WELL
AS THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EXTERNAL STATE OF BEING AND ITS IDEAS
BY COMBINING FORMAL ELEMENTS AND MINIMAL MEANS.
THE LOSS OF SELF INTO SELF - THE DISSOLVING OF ONE FORM INTO
ANOTHER ARE IMPLIED THROUGH THE USE OF POLISHED SURFACES
OF SILVER AND ALUMINUM. SORROW SHARED WITH BEAUTY IS EXPLORED
THROUGH THE METAPHORS OF THORNS, THISTLES + ROOTS. TIME AND
ITS RECURRENT THEME OF REPETITION AND CONSTANT FLUX IS SUGGESTED
THROUGH PILED FORMS AND CAST MULTIPLES USING THE MATERIALS GLASS
BEADS, SILER THREAD AND CAST BRONZE. FORM AND MATERIALS ARE
CHOSEN WITH INTENT TO DIMINISH THE DISTURBANCE BENEATH.
USING THE NOTION OF WISHING AND WANTING, UNABLE TO HAVE,
INABILITY TO GET AND THE FOREVER LONGING THAT ACCOMPANIES
EACH I ATTEMPT TO IMPLY THAT DESIRE AND LONGING WILL CONTINUE
TO BE A STATE OF DISSOLVING AWAY ONLY TO REAPPEAR TO ONCE AGAIN
DISSOLVE AD INFINTIUM.
