Each sculpture’s transparent quality evokes the transitory nature of human experience. The subject’s presence is only inferred by the color & texture of wilderness settings - conveying the hierarchy of environment over ephemeral human influence.
I patiently study the play of light and color refracting through the clear objects; I am in search of a transformative moment to photograph - one in which the tangible sculptures are rendered insubstantial and hallucinatory - one in which I can imagine the subject’s past, present, and future - from the ‘a-ha’ moment of inception to it’s faded memory.
These clear sculptures are often-times inspired by pre-existing transparent toys, corporate gifts, souvenirs, knick-knacks, and other discarded objects. I am amassing hundreds of clear objects for use as reposition-able assemblage elements while exploring new artworks.
