In this series of abstract, geometric sculptures, I reflect on the nature of and passage of time, from its theoretical and philosophical concepts to its intimate human counterpart, memory,

whether actual or imagined, collective or individual. Memories are made and filtered over time and fade or grow in intensity as they exist in our own individual consciousnesses. Remembrances mix and swirl in our heads, mysteriously creating our personalities and realities and marking our perception of time. In this exhibition, I also continue to explore the “intermateriality” of the materials I use to create my structures–investigating the interaction and relationship, or fusion between different materials as an artwork is created, discovering the way various materials such as common or exotic woods, metal fasteners, springs, fabric, wire, found objects and light come together to create meaning, texture and aesthetic form.

Quotes

“The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” ― Albert Einstein

“The particular aspect of time that I’m interested in is the arrow of time: the fact that the past is different from the future. We remember the past but we don’t remember the future. There are irreversible processes. There are things that happen, like you turn an egg into an omelet, but you can’t turn an omelet into an egg.” ― Sean M. Carroll, www.ThePreposterouUniverse.com

“Time moves in one direction, memory another. We are that strange species that constructs artifacts intended to counter the natural flow of forgetting.”― William Gibson, Distrust That Particular Flavor

“We are part of the universe that has developed a remarkable ability: We can hold an image of the world in our minds. We are matter contemplating itself.”
― Sean Carroll, The Particle at the End of the Universe: How the Hunt for the Higgs Boson Leads Us to the Edge of a New World
