Wall Sculpture
My wall installations put together diverse and disjunctive materials to make sense in a new way. The materials I choose are ones on hand: the residue of a studio-based artmaking practice; salvaged architectural remnants; or ones that expand spatial and relational opportunities (e.g.: reflective surfaces such as Plexiglas and metal which incorporate both light and the viewer into the work.)
The search for structure is undertaken through puzzling together divergent components, planes, surfaces, materials and processes. The work arrives at completion without planning through a process of addition, subtraction, ordering and reordering. The challenge for each piece is to achieve a unity elastic and responsive enough to acknowledge and employ disjunction, impermanence, dissolution and incompletion.
