Block by block, pixel by pixel, my three
dimensional work suggests the framework of the virtual and how it has become
increasingly routine to cross its borders. Handheld devices are our tangible
windows to the cloud, a reminder that we still reside in a physical world. The
use of wood and enamel accentuate the materiality of my pieces but also suggest
a link to historical mosaic and stained glass work. The exponential evolution
of technology is contrasted by the excessive manual fabrication within one
piece. The two dimensional drawings are the cloud itself. They express the
invisible narrative within a single device as well as the dialogue it has
between other connected technologies. Just as the sculptures have been stripped
of function to highlight their physicality, the
drawings broadcast a corporeal familiarity onto an incomprehensible dimension.
