These sculptures are what they are: wire, shadow, and paint. The visual cues planted for deciphering them, however, have been carefully positioned so that one’s perceptual conclusions become uncertain.

The viewer ponders a trail of sculptural suggestions. Because of a resulting irresolution, one’s gaze often returns to the beginning for another look. This recursive beholding (this looking and re-looking) can be meditative, somewhat like gazing at a sunset or staring into a fire.

By focusing the object’s meaning on the very cues signifying its objecthood, the work offers itself more precisely as an experience of objecthood.
