My sculptural work embraces the potential for collapse through fragile and impermanent structures. I use found objects as modular units and, exercising an economy of form and process, I build precarious structures which stand as a challenge to gravity, tentatively resting at the edge of collapse.
Instability is integral to the presence of these forms, being aware of potential energy in apparently static objects encourages a prolonged engagement from the viewer who can only guess how long the structure will stand and who, or what, will bring it to an end.
I am guided in my practice by Minimalist ideas, particularly the ‘here and now’ (David Raskin 00:21:21) mindset of non-representational work, as well as geometric systems and modularity.
