ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The "Rubble" series is a sculptural investigation into the powerful connection between constantly changing atmospheric light & color and the resulting subjective trigger of memory, emotion, and feeling. ⁠The abstract forms call into question our individual attachment to the subjective identity of an object as defined by social and cultural expectations. The Rubble series re-frames the idea of decay, looking to redefine the objects in our environment through a constantly changing palette of atmospheric light and color. Each piece was created through a unique process I developed during quarantine that transforms found pieces of rubble and detritus in my environment into forms wholly defined by passing fragments of natural light throughout the day. The surface and form of each piece is in a constant state of flux over the course of the day as organic light filters over the natural shape of its structure. The series aims to break apart our traditional expectations of common forms in our environment by stripping them down to their foundational shapes. Each viewer of the sculptural pieces will experience it in an entirely different way dependent on momentary factors of light, weather, and time. The series includes both individual unique sculptural pieces as well as an accompanying photographic series that highlights the individuality of each form.

For me, all subjects exist as fluid, their surfaces ever-changing by way of variations in light, time, and perspective. Through my sculptural and photographic work, created entirely without digital manipulation, I aim to highlight the unique combinations of these factors that give life and soul to the surrounding atmosphere and to the present moment. At the core of my work I explore how these variables along with the differences in our subjective perspective define the unique feelings we associate with a subject. Beginning with the empirical and analytical observation of light, my pieces remove defining characteristics of commonplace subjects, attempting to disassociate their conventional identity. My work instead focuses on the unseen subject: a momentary subjective trigger of memory, emotion, and feeling produced by changes in light, time, and color. While appearing at first glance abstract, my works are meant in fact to be representational, but to represent a reality beyond immediate impressions; to create rather a fuller, and more authentic, visual experience of a subject. That experience transcends the visual, and therefore requires an approach that, while remaining representational and unmanipulated, through its alternative appearance challenges the viewer to move beyond socially constructed meanings of subject. My work is heavily influenced by nature: organic forms, the random cyclical movement of the elements, the constant progression of time and explores themes of impermanence, authenticity, deterioration and rebirth, and perceptions of banality. I draw inspiration in part from sculptural masters of light such as James Turrell and Olafur Elliason, as well as the impressionist movement – specifically from Monet, the plein air painting technique, and the enveloppe, the unifying atmospheric light encompassing all things.
