EVENT BASED
Making sculpture in real time requires a shift in workspace. Working underwater allows me to side step the confines of gravity and friction. Material transformations seen here as both singular objects and fragmented clusters, these wax artifacts are the physical residue of my action sculpture process.
FABRICATIONS
Inspired by movement and energy, these sculptures invite the viewer to visually traverse across their graceful contours. Although these works are not kinetic, they convey feelings of flight and fluidity. While some of the free-standing fabrications appear heavy, in actuality they are lightweight hollow forms; sheets welded together creating the illusion of solidness. This trick of the eye is the magic of metal fabrication, enabling constructions which seem to defy gravity.
