It Takes a Village

This work is currently installed at Norwalk Community College in Ct.  It Takes a Village is its centerpiece and consists of a hanging vine and ceramic houses in sand.  This piece was originally conceived 5 years ago by my good friend artist and educator Denise Minnerly.  With the idea of doing a piece about place and where we live, she went into schools, homeless shelters, and mental institutions with clay and asked participants to make their idea of home.  Concurrently, I had been working with beaver sticks and vines on pieces about the interconnectedness of nature and man.  We joined forced on this project and made the vine sculpture for It takes a Village together.

The long clay and acrylic piece behind It Takes a Village is Earth Variations (reconfigured).  Originally done as a 90" x 160" rectangle--it is 12 separate panels--is reconfigured for the space as 40" x 360".  The vine piece Au Privave is created from a single vine I found in the CT woodlands. The last piece, Gumbo Variations, is 40" x 80".

Call it Anything Like Chaos

“CALL IT ANYTHING (LIKE CHAOS) “ was created with the idea of being viewed as a sampled aspect of a chaotic storm; stationary, but trembling as if it were alive. The flying roots appear as if ripped out of the earth and it’s intricacies and the synaptic skin of the root system can be inspected by the viewer.

This was inspired by Hurricane Sandy and the chaos it created.   My hopes were to show the viewer a frozen moment in time and perhaps tap into the zeitgeist of the collective human experience as we see incomprehensible events happening at a speed faster than what we can process and can be viewed as a removed observer after the event has happened.

The viewer sees the root systems, the connective tissue and the terrestrial mooring to the earth flying topsy-turvy through the air throwing our whole vision of what is solid and normal into chaos.  Kinetic creatures fly above and around the air-borne roots as if cast out of their habitat, or perhaps escaping the storm, signifying life’s resilience and perseverance in the most adverse conditions.
