From the Shrinking and Disappearing Series, 2005-present.
The Shrinking and Disappearing series is an examination of the structure of making, especially of making sculpture and space. Often, as in Double Negative, the work utilizes a chosen form for a mold that with each successive sculpture deflates and evacuates itself like a paradoxically gravity-bound balloon. The formwork diminishes to a point of failure: eventually, it forms nothing. Sometimes the process eliminates the task of creation, concentrating instead on the processes involved, drawing attention both to the urge to make, to unmake, and to eliminate.
