STEEL

While drawing from life, I outline a selection of planes and contours that call out to my attention. Sculpture enables me to analytically interpret these schematic records of cognitive processing into physical diagrams. For all of my Layers artworks, proportions and positions of depth for all constituent parts are scaled to replicate what had been previously observed. I have guided the fabrication process with the structure of a cubic graph. Singular, condensed shapes are treated as idiosyncratic plots. Flat panels are parallel planes to an imaginary “X” or “Y” axis. They are isolated within and separated by vacant space intervals. Curved and tilted parts, however, playfully intersect and dance within this rigid compositional formula.
