Artist Statement
Please take a moment to look up at the sky. Take a deep breath. The kinetic sculpture The Net is intended as a positive interruption in your experience. It is an invitation from me to you, to contemplate the infinite spectrum of things in motion around you. We are living on the line between obliteration and creation. Like a shoreline; the boundaries are impermanent and codependent. Consider your place in this give and take. Like fish in water, there is nowhere else for us to go.
