| Each person's "self" is constructed from experiences mundane and extraordinary. Each experience is a collection of moments, each moment shaped and contextualized by the identity of the individual, affected by its past and affecting the next moment in time. Every event impacts each person differently and thereby influences the ways in which we relate to one another, at time forming bonds, at times pushing apart. My most recent work focuses on the ideas, issues, or experiences that set individuals apart from one another. There can be a certain peace to voluntary physical separation, an opportunity to be free from others' expectations and reactions. On the other hand, to be surrounded by other people yet unable (or unwilling) to connect, communicate, or commune brings us to the depth of solitude. As a group these pieces reflect the isolation of the individual, they move without reaching, are in proximity without touching, and respond without connecting. With allusions to body language and architecture these works capture various moments of identity, formed by history and experience, determining response and interaction. They represent the individual struggle to make sense of the relationship between the internal and external aspects of identity, as the particular experiences, issues, or feelings that inform each piece dictate its relationship to the space, the viewer, and each other. |
