Abstract Details

2004, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Art.
This body of work revolves around energy as an issue. The issue has been defined in the sculpture by addressing: the armature, the surface, the immediacy of making the objects, and the materials used. By presenting the work in small groups a stage is set for an ambiguous narrative, where the bond between the objects is through the issue of energy in some form. Other rules I have employed for my working process are: sitting and thinking, playing with the material, energy in the object, revealing a pattern, unfolding a material, formulated altering, and that weight should dictate the gesture of the object. These rules define the objects by giving them comparable identities.
