Artist Statement:
In the Lost Project, I
continue to create large-scale
installations and intimate
artworks related by their
preoccupation with
spirituality and with death.
Things fall apart; we lose
buttons, keys, money, and
relationships; resources
disappear; we misplace papers
and information; pictures and
memories fade. Sometimes we
find things too–but days,
months, or years later, so
that we have still lost time
during the looking and
waiting. I spend hours
searching for a particular
letter, or there are pieces of
jewelry or other treasures in
the bottom of a drawer or the
back of my closet that I have
misplaced or forgotten.
Eventually, in death we lose
our bodies. Life is cyclical,
and mortality is unavoidable.
In this way too, a powerful
connection is created between
aesthetic practice and the
cycle of life. These pieces
are all created from actual
family heirlooms, cast in
bronze and brass. Our eyes
scan the patterns of these
objects and our minds
reconstruct and transform what
is lost or hidden. While there
are narrative passages from my
own family related to some of
the objects, the entire Lost
Project invites the audience
to relate to shared themes and
stories.
