Wire Installations
The wire installations consists of an ongoing series of three-dimensional "drawings". Each installation builds on the ideas of preceding work and is primarily site specific. This process encourages a sense of play, being in the moment and a non-linear approach to documentation.
The installations are like pathways connecting the past to the present. Found manufactured and natural objects are combined with remnants of older work and are embedded in the wire drawings. The elements become a metaphorical “time line” and also function as mark-making tools.
The drawings are ephemeral and kinetic. Their lines scribble and move in space casting shadows both real and illusory as they shift on the floor, walls and ceiling. The process is referenced through graphite traces, masking tape or text. The intention is to record a personal relationship to the objects, a visual testimony to the power of memory.
