Installation, Wood on Wood
Size: 72 W x 12 H x 72 D in
My raw materials are leftovers from the past or what some might call “worn out stuff”. The objects I chose are survivors -- yet seem to have lost their usefulness and reason for being. They live in dark spider-webby attic corners, inside boxes hidden in the basement, or in the junk pile down the street. These objects have a story to tell -- if we listen. Rusty and often stuck - this body of work still moves (some). All of them want to move more. Each struggles to get ahead - some drag a weight behind them, others have a shell to break through, and still others - await takeoff. They are all trying awful hard. Ultimately they attain art-hood by releasing their object identity and joining others in a new (lively) purpose. Rusty roller skates, weathered shoe forms, battered eggbeaters and other imaginative means of locomotion are joined together by hand to form entirely new entities. Engaging and thought provoking these found object constructions with their rich visual histories evoke the past while outrageously rolling toward the future.
