Sculpture
The Worry
Diminutive ceramic heads are mounted on metal stands, as if a formal tribute. The expressions however belie this certainty of esteem. Viewed at eye level, yet fitting in the palm of the hand, these anguished portraits are both monumental and intimate.
Hero Worship
Historically, the inscribed monumental column celebrated a victorious, dispassionate hero. These miniature monuments interrogate this myth as the emotional figures that emerge from these damaged and twisted columns show the human being as a tragic, fallible creature.
Within Ruin
This project imagines a precious ceramic box, buried by a sudden natural disaster that protects its vibrant interior. The specific reference is to the Vesuvian eruption of 79 AD, a violent act of nature that has captured popular imagination for centuries.
Industrial Strength
Ordinary plumbing pipes are normally hidden, an unseen but essential utility of our contemporary existence. These works play on the nature of the hidden and the visible. Suggestive fragmented images are drawn inside the pipes and puzzle viewers about what they are seeing. Upon closer inspection, the image comes into focus and the pipe is fully considered. The goal of this work is to consider the concept of visibility.
