The medium of collage has
always been important to me because I use it to
represent the archaeology of individual, intimate
feelings. I have been exploring the use of collage in
sculpture. The two “Vestiges” installations recall the
disappearance of culture through genocide. The glass
lanterns serve as symbolic vessels for preserving
mementos – personal memories of family and loved ones.
Keeping mementos helps preserve our unique history and
reminds ourselves to continue giving life after
destruction.
Recently, I have begun to experiment with a series of
three dimensional works (Civilization) which contain
human and environmental elements in aquariums of cast
acrylic resin, depicting the clash between the natural
world and the manmade. I hope to use these works as
studies for larger, life-sized installations. |
