Flight Patterns of Empty Energ
2005 |
)
|
| Within my work I often use the elemental materials of the body and explore how they can be reconstituted sculpturally. In the piece Flight Patterns of Empty Energy, I froze the amount of water of two bodies into a solid form. Bit by bit, sliver by sliver, the form melts into a shallow black box, until becoming liquid. Completely filling the vessel, the liquid is held by surface tension, creating a reflecting pool. The pool mirrors a gauze-like fabric suspended above the water, equivalent to the surface area of the two bodies. Eventually the liquid evaporates and ends its journey from solid, to liquid, to gas. Love roots us. It makes us real. It is proof of our existence, yet like identity and memory it is fluid, continually changing. This piece embodies the desire to contain a moment in time, to freeze one’s love, to face the reality that as material we are ever changing. |

| We are like glass, aren’t we? — at times transparent while at others opaque. Glass: a curious liquid and solid. We too morph, mutate, and change over time. As glass windowpanes age they become thicker at their base. Even after firing they retains aspects — latent memories — of their liquidious nature. So perhaps the glasshouse of our minds — in which we inhabit — is mutable. We need nothing more than to step through it: into the light or into the dark. The piece, Vessel: Body as Water, is a slumped glass sculpture that will hold the volume of my body. |
