To show that it is what is inside us that is most important, I intentionally assemble my forms with pieces missing so that the interior surfaces are as visually accessible as the exterior ones. Cultural Fossils comprise the surface of the majority of my Contemporary Relics. The imagery on the surface and the form of the figure itself generate a dialogue that becomes more poignant when it is studied from a variety of perspectives. From a distance you see one thing, but when you get close up, you realize what you see is vastly more complex. This discovery makes people pause.
Time is felt in the pauses.
In our contemporary lifestyle we have lost our sense of having time because we fail to pause. Yet we discover our connection to nature and feel our place in time by pausing to reflect and observe.
