In my work I am enthralled with the idea of infinite space and how matter, or in my case, materials, occupy and define an infinite stream of energy in a focused reality. Focused reality is the concept that dissimilar shapes with different characteristics (triangles, squares, pentagon, etc.) marry perfectly at their seams to form something larger than themselves combining their individual strengths to form a larger, stronger constitution despite the pressure of chaos willing them to spiral into infinity. I want to materialize in form, the idea of matter imploding and exploding into space. Utilizing protrusions, intrusions and equators, I materialize a representation of the duality of things in life and the places where they balance. My geometric forms represent the existential flow of what I view as the universe. The inspiration comes from my observations of reality. The most important idea I draw from existentialism is to be in the moment. When people experience my art, they experience their own existential moment. The subconscious of any human should be affected. To be in the moment takes concentration. My pieces have universe-like energy in them. This energy promotes a focused mind, resulting in the sculptures acting as focusing shrines by introducing an elemental synergetic force to their environment. My work is a meditation on the mind, and what is truly meaningful to the true self. It is a search the miraculous for a meaning that is hidden in the fabric of space and time. It is an exercise in being a conscious human being, existing in an earthly world. Earth without grounding is just a psychopath’s dream philandering in the breeze. From these most basic and infinite of nature’s primary sources I reveal a physical shocking presence with grounded intention in reality. | Click images for details. Click images for details. |
