| 关于此艺术家 |
He studied filmmaking as an undergraduate; which led to working in documentary film production, while completing graduate work in sculpture. In retrospect, this seems to have formed the way in which he approaches artistic production, which is to say that the work embraces many mediums and is not narrowed to one stylistic approach. What may appear to be a multifarious portfolio could be viewed as cohesive in its totality, a result of a natural inquiry that unfolded and allowed for a deeper and more complex conceptual presentation. |

I have been working on developing forms that are light and easily dealt with, so the choice of materials for this project fell right in line with my thinking. Relating to the location on State Street, I felt that a work that would not have a front or a back would work best, so that as one walked along the street the piece would have a neutrality in its orientation. Instead, it has a top and bottom, and those are reversed from our usual expectations. This gives the work its dynamics. The inverted cone could be read as both a symbol of something just hitting the ground, or as an object collecting and holding something. The idea of using Stupa for its name (a stupa is a psycho-cosmic commemorative structure used in Buddhist practice) came from my interest in the stupa form, and how they are placed throughout Asia.
“Stupa” then is my symbol for much of Asian culture today. A golden cone penetrating the material world.
