Thing
in Itself
The sculptures achieve their power from the way they infiltrate
and invade the surrounding space. They seem to emerge as
unexpected and carefully arranged combinations of materials,
such as surgical tubing, waxed leather thread, ropes of
many different sizes, balloons that have been blown up with
an insulating foam sealant and silicone rubber that has
to be mixed and cured before it becomes a soft, strong and
stretchy material that weaves back and forth within the
structures.
There are scale shifts within each sculpture, turning and
jutting forward with a slow moving web of thin wire holding
this body of work together.
A mass brought together that forms in some sense, a coherent
whole.
