The die is cast

The gesture is made, the movement is frozen, the line is drawn, the brush has touched and left its mark – the flow has come to a rest – a record in space and time – a sculpture, a painting.

The sculptures resonate ad libitum movements, tunnels and caves dug in sand and cast in porcelain. Some are loosly exploring the canon of form that vases have left in cultural history. Some are rather self referential to the gestures they come from.

Eventually the surface of the sculpture becomes a canvas. A brush, a spraygun, a tape negotiating form and surface, probing into a space between ornamentation and its contrary. Always keeping a degree of abstraction through the spontaneity of the brush.

There is a sound connecting the pieces in this exhibition, a tone of off-colors, roughly brushed luster, ink like brush strokes, organic gestures and hard edges. Some pieces are like bodily counterparts, resonating the direct physical process of their creation. Others are vases in scale or shape or recall the organic matter they might contain.

They are all a snapshots of a flow of gestures.
