LINES OF DIVISION, LINES OF CONNECTION
“I am currently working on two films. The first film is based on an outdoor piece that I made in the Italian Garden in Maudslay State Park, Newburyport in September 2019. For this piece I used sayings in Latin and English collected from old sundials. The inscriptions are poetic and philosophical, addressing the passage of time and the movement of the sun. The idea for the piece came from finding the remains of an old sundial in the Italian Garden.
The second film is based on a dance performance and concert in my exhibition Crossing Lines at Boston Sculptors Gallery in October 2019. My sculptures are large brightly colored 3 dimensional structures made from willow branches and marsh reeds.
On the one hand my sculpture uses lines to explore division and enclosure and on the other to signify connection and complex relationships. The dancers interpreted these ideas through bodily gesture and movement and in physically engaging with sculptural elements.”
