Our
society is tending more towards a lack of personalization.
The more improvements technologically, the less personal contact
and more alienation. As a human condition, we all have a need
for a sense of security, a sense of self. Because of greater
distancing and alienation amongst people, a true inner sense
of security is sought. The everchanging levels of senses of
security lead to a feeling of fragility and vulnerability.
Through
labor intensive processes using common materials, my work
attempts to expose this fragility and vulnerability by balancing
them with a sense of resolution and protection. I have
sought to produce objects out of multiple materials, examine
overlooked patterns in nature, and bring an order out of chaos.
The finished products remain abstractions that permit the
viewer to react according to their own life experiences rather
than looking at them through my eyes.
