| SCULPTURE |
| I WAS VISITING MY SISTER IN CHICAGO BACK IN 2007 AND I THINK IT WAS THE CHANGE IN SCENERY AND IN CLIMATE THAT INSPIRED THIS WORK THE FIRST THOUGHTS WERE CONSTRUCTION PAPER ON CANVAS THAT EVOLVED INTO OIL ON METAL ON BOARD |
THE PUNCHED OUT METAL PIECES ARE INCORPORATED TO CREATE AN AIRY CONTRAST TO THE SATURATED OIL ON METAL PIECES ON THE INSIDE OF THESE METAL FILTERS ARE TINY PRINTED ARROWS I LET THE VIEWER SEE A LITTLE OF THIS THEY ADD A DIRECTIONAL VALUE
I USE THIN SHEETS SO I CAN MANIPULATE THE CORNERS INTO DELICATE CURLS |
OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS RECYCLING OUR "TREASURED ITEMS" HAS BECOME AN INTERGRAL ELEMENT IN MY WORK I TEASE AND SAY I'VE BECOME THE RECYCLING BIN FOR THE QUARTER. IT'S CUTE AND TRUE ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS BRING ME LEAD CRYSTAL WINE GLASSES AND CHINA THAT BREAK AT DINNER PARTIES, VASES, HAUNTED MIRRORS THAT MYSTERIOUSLY THROW THEMSELVES OFF THE WALLS, SLATE, AIR CONDITIONER FILTERS, BURNED OUT CHRISTMAS LIGHTS...IT GOES ON AND ON HAHA THEY HAVE ALL FOUND THEIR WAY INTO THE PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURES MY WORK TELLS ON US... IT IS A DOCUMENT OF THIS TIME IT'S ALL PART OF THE HISTORY HERE IN NEW ORLEANS THEN AND NOW |
