First Installation
Interactive spatial relationships make the viewer a participant in my site-specific installations. Connemara/ the Masai Mara was created with a grant from the Connemara Conservancy Foundation - charging rhino, adobe/ metal tree, termite mound, drive in theatre screen- draws on the pop-up card. This piece juxtaposes the landscape in North Texas with the plains of the Masai Mara in Kenya and becomes an amphitheater formed by the terraced hillsides at the site. In addition, this installation incorporates other elements important to my work. Needlework-like filigree in the steel draws in a humanizing element much like the pores in skin. The shade of the acacia tree in the foreground of the site panorama is offered to visitors as relief from the sun in the Masai Mara.
Forms and elements from nature are a central concern in much of my sculpture. Flowers, trees, and adobe are metaphors for my maturation as an artist and for my ability to transform the intrinsic structure of the materials that I use. In this sense, the structure becomes secondary to the considerations of texture and the patterns of light that are created in certain sites.
