These pieces are made of individually cast resin or glass, combined with various materials, such as bedsprings, fishing hooks, swivels, wire, hardware and dyes. In recent installations, such as Icons, Cones, and Lures, I complete by adding hand written fragmented phrases, dirges and chants on the back walls, thus pairing the structural soundness of durable materials with more elusive and fragile elements, transforming the room into a juxtaposition of expectations. The Lures series are each hand cast of resin or glass, with added hooks, wire, various hardware and smaller cast objects designed to simulate one's desire to entice, arouse and capture. Cohesively, each piece stands as a synergy between psychological and physical memory, the subconscious and our deepest desires. Bodice, are anthropomorphic forms made of bedspring chainmail, large fish hooks, glass and resin castings. Devices of beauty, protection, desire and pain, much like what society imposes upon women in many cultures throughout the world, they hang, beckoning
on the wall.
As a sculptor, I am engaged in the concept of the dislocation of time through creating a vocabulary of repetitive forms,translucency and light, and the
overlapping elements that obsessively inform one another. I utilize fragmente human, natural and found elements that are derived from memories and the
familiar world, and stand in as exaggerated parts of the whole. Through memory, I process reality; each physical representation becomes an artifact, a
meditative process, which documents the experience. As installation fractions or individual pieces, this work is at once translucent and dense, ephemeral and visceral, which builds and expands my themes of danger, desire, engagement and selective abandonment.
