Installation and Reasembly

The difference between viewing actual installations, documentation after disassembly, and resassembled installations presents potential for dialogue. Examining these relationships, noting subtle tensions, Ponder, an installation exploring temporary materials and spatial orientation, will evolve in different contexts in the coming months. The image here is the from Ponder's original site specific context.

Tendency Series (Continued)

Following up on contradictions between form and intentions, I developed a sign that I am incorporating into some of the Tendency work, and pushing a dialogue between the sign and the weight forms.

Tendency Series



In conjunction with reading Art As Spiritual Activity: Rudolph Steiner's Contribution to the Visual Arts, I've been working on a series of forms letting weight move around in the picture plane. These images, Tendency to Accumulate shown above and additional images below, were done on Saatchi's Your Studio because the limitations on tools confine the manner of pushing and pulling. The concept of Tendency is broader than issues of weight in forms, engendered by playing interaction and contradiction against one another, with respect to both the forms and intentions.
