kin drifting o1
144 x 90”
This wall sculpture took shape over several weeks, as I slowly traced what once was a little pencil doodle with cording, one inch at a time, one contour at a time, crest to trough to crest, finally applying a wash of white and dotting an illusory shadow in reflective liquid gold.
The day’s light pierced through the etched glass windows, stretching back and forth all day long, strumming the strings, pulling at the threads, egging me on. As this swelling sculpture evolved and built up its own momentum, so did I … finding my own equilibrium and balance, measuring my own determination and commitment to finally physically revealing this intangible notion living in my head.
When I close my eyes I can envision the anatomical, botanical, and even cosmical shapes this sculpture could possibly take. Infused with clusters of abstract ceramics, resins, or papers featuring corral, floral, shells, fungi, stones, wood, or pods… what stories this piece has the potential to tell… about seasons, journeys, change, growth, the impermanence of things, the balance of nature.
