This work consists of a large central piece made of several smaller components, and arranged to emphasize the idealized, body-like structures. The source of the forms are various decorative objects and trinkets, and their combination into masses and resurfacing the resulting sculptures. Each item is added in such a way that they begin to erase one another, and take on forms reminiscent of mounted, overgrown deer antlers, or three-dimensional inkblots. The resulting forms are then be combined and displayed in such a way the pieces appear to form a skeletal structure of an alien sort, implying familiar body forms in an unfamiliar composition. Each piece will be carefully integrated into the overall structure over the first two months of the exhibition.
This work was completed with support from Calgary 2012/Cultural Capital of Canada, and by the Calgary Allied Arts Foundation via the St[art] Residency Program.
