Still Sculpture

My work explores and tests the boundaries of simplicity, presumptions of existence and the attributes of materiality to a minimal expression. Ultimately, aspiring to embody a human emotion in a universal gesture, recognizable regardless of place, time, education, age or background. I base my practice on the grounds that we are all work in progress, always under construction. I am less interested on what the materials are and more in what they are not. I explore with the materials and architectural elements I use, as they have strong symbolism, cross-culturally and historically. For example: wool thread, which beyond its apparent weakness and softness can we powerful and strong (in Sanskrit, Sutra means thread, or keep together). The significance of the column; supporting a larger structure, and used in all civilizations from thousands of years; the column in my work is the individual, and I play with the concept of spaces within the column and in relation to other elements.
