Aergia: Restful Red

 

Cestius: Constrained Pyramid

 

Red Summer

“Red Summer” was conceived in toto. The image of the piece to be made was immediate and complete. Another piece, “Yellow Terror”, evolved over time. It is “Yellow Terror” because it was a nightmare to make, both in terms of its physical nature (aluminum) and the image (which changed several times). I still cannot tell if “Yellow Terror” works, because I am still too attached to it. But it is a good try. I leave the final decision up to the viewer.

Endless Column

 

The column is made using silver beads. It is a simple piece that provides a suspended tension similar to the train piece but more minimal.

 

 

Eyes Forward: Escape of the Tortured

 

This piece is about the energy that exists within a form. By cutting into a box and pulling the contents forward we create a liberated form.

 

Night Train to Lisbon

 

“Given that we can live only a small part of what there is in us — what happens with the rest?”
― Pascal Mercier, Night Train to Lisbon

 

 

Totems

 

Show Hump Day

Well. It’s now the show’s hump day. Only seven more days to go until it’s just a memory.

Fish Ascending

Peggy Sue Got Married

 

This piece is in part a parody of Claus Oldenburg’s Clothespin. The major difference is that the peg is disassembled. This creates a tension between each prong. The placement of the prongs is critical to creating the desired tension. Too close and they visually join. Too far apart and they are two separate items. The goal is to place them at a distance that creates a tension.
