Abstract

The dichotomy between expression and interpretation allows communication to happen. Communication is a sensual experience. I approach art as a visual language and I use intuitive constructions of carved wood, engraved acrylic, and light projections as an expression of a personal interpretation of the introspected internal dialogue between my mind, my hands, my eyes, and the materials. The hand is an extension of the mind and the materials are an extension of the hand. As an artist I use the relationship between mind and hand to give physical form to ephemeral streams of thought. This body of work attempts to use the dichotomy of internal versus external that is woven into the human condition, as I understand it, through the construction of wooden armatures that fuse with scribed, shaped clear acrylic plastic forms. Clear acrylic that has been scribed by an engraving burin is melted and mounted onto the wooden armatures. Heating the acrylic softens it and allows for it to bend to the contours of the wooden structures the result is a drawing that has been transformed from a two-dimensional image to a three-dimensional object thus, the image exists in a physical space not an imitated or simulated space.
