I imagine an interactive participatory space, where art requires viewer. Here are places for you to insert yourself, to place yourself, and imagine what is seen beyond your body and beyond your eyes.

 

A series of wooden sculptures that resemble halos in varying forms that are inspired from diverse religious art history.  Some may be recognizable, others not; all are installed for you to observe, explore, and participate with. These minimized, simplified forms of the sun, light, and fire are inserted into this space for you to interact with. 

 

Light is an object without form, without mass or weight, it is present but invisible.  The work presented here uses objects to bring to your attention a thing without form.  It was created to discuss internal, visceral, spiritual, immaterial qualities shared by humankind.  Within ourselves is a longing for something greater than us, beyond this physical world; inside all of us is a search for something more, something divine, something explanatory.

 

You may see an object and nothing more, you may see the material and the form and the shape, another will see you with the object, and thus the final motif is formed. These sculptures are empty unless you are here with them.
