Relics of a dreaming…
This collection of ceramic sculpture, and sculptural painting is the sedimentation of a series of conversations. These are the relic objects and images of a “dreaming” in an aboriginal sense: the dance, the story, and the physicality inherited and accumulated as identity over a lifetime. They are the theater of the unspoken, the invisible, the masked world-- revealing more an inquisition into meaning than an answer composed. They are parts that decompose to reveal, or re-compose to create a whole. The works approach geology: not only in the vigorous process of their making, but also in the metaphor that stratified dimensions, eroded surfaces, and fractured facades suggest in the process of our individuation, the riverbed of our becoming. They are all at once archaeological, alchemical, and ancient: the repositories of memory and reliquaries of thought.
