Artist Statement
"...While we regret that the
present is not like the past
and despair of its ever
becoming the future, its
innumerable inscrutable habits
lie in wait for their
meaning..."
Diane Arbus, 1963
Is it possible to capture the
past and future - the coming
and going - simultaneously?
Seeking help and advice from
friends and strangers to
design and build an apparatus
to do just that, I realized
that explaining the design of
the apparatus was not a
challenge. The materials used
to build it were attainable
and common. It was the logic
and viability of its function
that became incomprehensible.
Traveling back to see a bear I
visited years ago delivered me
face to face with the
realization that in the
changing archives of the wild
a bear cannot do laps. He has
lost his purpose yet he still
swims....

Hi Wendy,
I saw Waiting for the Bear at the Fifth Year opening last night... It's a WONDERFUL piece of work -it left me feeling like I'm surrounded by tin-studs (which I am!) The overall experience was touching, profound and very ambiguous.
Good luck, I'm sure the judges are going to love it!
