As far as I can tell everything is a synthesis of relationships, of one entity being defined not by itself alone, but by another entity and the space in between. To define one thing is to define another and that is a challenge of reality and the human condition. This exploration of the human condition and the multiple dimensions involved is paramount to my art making process. This synthesis, or new spatial awareness, is the practice of creation itself, the resulting art as a physical manifestation, both successes and failures.
The focus of this spatial concept in my work is to proffer information not easily grasped, instilling a longing for more information or answers while giving none in particular. This can further be achieved by a continuous play between the revelation and concealment of object and illusion, existence and essence.
Captured Orbits is an exploration of space as a physical and metaphorical construct, capturing moments that are quickly present and then gone. Structured as a standard theatrical event, each manifestation is meant to set a scene, deliver a performance that has been acted out a left for the viewers to enact for themselves based on the remaining props, alluding to both space and time.
