Description:
COSMIC ENTITIES are four individual sculptures depicting cosmic objects.
URSA MAJOR
60”H x 40” W x 40”L
Carved jelutong, oil, canvas, wood
Using molecular models as a reference, URSA MAJOR is a skeletal version of a chainsaw carving of a bear.
URSA MINOR
58”H x 38” W x 4”L
Wood, nails, glue
URSA MINOR is a geometric stretcher frame for canvas, left bare to bring attention to the structure of a traditional painting.
ASTEROID
48”H x 16” W x 14”L
Blown mold glass, silver nitrate, oil, canvas, wood
Working with a team of gaffers as artist in residence at the PILCHUCK ART SCHOOL I produced several blown glass asteroids incorporating the glass pieces into sculpted paintings.
MOON
60”H x 60” W x 2.5”L
Oil, canvas, stretcher, ellipsoidal lamp
MOON is a traditional flat oil painting painted in black and white. Color is added as an illumination from the blue gel of the lamp focused on the perimeter of the canvas to give a dimensional illusion. The lamp acts a metaphor for a star creating the light on the moon.
