Driven and limited by process, these pieces echo the inevitable movement of time. Saturated canvas hardens rapidly while being manipulated, allowing room for both natural and intentional forms. Slow moments of smoothing and folding, pulling and twisting within a container of time as the canvas becomes more difficult to manipulate the more time that passes. Once hardened, gravity and water speed pigment across the uneven surface. Color pools and runs depending upon the depth of the caverns created. Both beautiful and tense, these sculptures bring attention to the comfort and uneasiness that is the passing of time.
