Abstract
|
|
 |
|
This wooden "grid" is a mathematically sensative composition adherent to the proportions of the 'Golden Mean' and directly references the work of Louise Nevelson. There is a thematic reference to Icarus who attempts to rise from the ashes of the modernists?my forefathers?yet is tethered to this pervasive movement. It represents a dichonomty of classical versus modern concepts of beauty. |

Miniture wooden curio cabinet featuring a small padlock on the door's exterior and a half-heart shaped window showing a single key inside illuminated by a blue light. Blue velvet lines the interior. This work speaks of the inaccessibilty of beautiful places inside. Additionally, it gives a clue as to why by means of a secret panel, known only to the creator and revealed only to the owner of this art object. The LED light is powered by two AAA batteries and a switch stored in their own concealed compartment. |

A very whimsical piece with an explicit sexual theme. Addresses the 'ownership' of perception. The viewer will identify the objects as clothespins, yet they seem to be engaged in verious acts of mutual pleasure. Are the objects having sex, or does the viewer force them mentally with his perception? For a closer look, see Snap (detail) Station No. 1. |

This work is an exploration of the long-standing existential question surrounding our physical presence. Stepping alone into the mirror room, the single viewer disappears for a moment, becomming non-exist in this world. For a moment, the viewer can experience this world with and without her. (Hint: There is no mirror)
