Sculpture

Wire mesh, with its inherent grid form, is my starting point; it intrigues me because it is both fragile and strong; has both an inside and an outside; it is apparent yet transparent; open and closed. When light is placed strategically, shadows created by the lines of the sculpture, are reflected against the background wall, creating another visual event which is always changing due to the nature of the light source. It is drawing in space.
I sew the forms together with steel wire and build stacks and other architectural forms, particularly cubes. I use ordinary material from the hardware store. Some of the box forms, created out of cardboard, and painted, are then sliced and incised, requiring the viewer to look inside the piece to see interior shadows caused by indirect light reflected therein. So, light plays an important part in the work. Lines and light.

Edges, angles, architecture, reflections, shadows; these are some of the things that intrigue me as a photographer. It’s the wall across from my kitchen window bathed in a warm Tuscan light, a line connecting two windows, upstairs, downstairs, with their white Venetian blinds angled in the sun. Or pilings left from a long-gone pier on a rainy Sunday in Philly. It’s the beauty in the familiar, the ordinary; that which most people pass by, not noticing.
