About
In what began with a series of interlocking geometric shapes, my work over the past few years has become an ongoing exploration of space. I work in iterations. A simple idea is manifested in multiple forms, and each becomes a new path to be pursued along with its own series of questions. These questions are answered in groupings of sculptures. Each grouping shares a similar process, material, and form. Over the course of this exploration I have created spatial distinctions with planes cutting through space at angles, thin lines exploring different three-dimensional forms in wire, and two-dimensional pieces that use color, shadow, and line.. While the process, materials, and aesthetic of each grouping may differ, they all share the underlying logic of exploring space. This exploration has also been informed by the resources around me; I have used the laser-cutter and the woodshop, I have learned how to solder and weld. The materials I have had access to have also led my exploration. Wood, acrylic, wire, mesh, and steel have all played a role in influencing the physical solutions to various questions about space. Each piece that comes out of this process contains moments. Each moment leads to new ideas that create their own series of questions and challenges. As a result, this process is never-ending. I continue down one path until another one presents itself, sometimes returning to or drawing inspiration from an old path.
