THE COMBINATIONS OF PROPERTIES of material influence my inspiration. The exact process comes to me only after I’ve begun to work with the material, from a place deep inside my subconscious.

 

I’m interested in the raw material of sculpture, the material that it is made from: The lived body. I’m interested in the result as the cumulative process of discovery and multitude of small interactions. It’s from those interactions that we have all our sensorial relations with the world. All our meanings and metaphors, come from that basis.

 

More specifically, this series of sculptural work began with an interest in rusted disks from old farm equipment and the ancient process of gilding with metallic foil. I had no preconceived ideas about what the connection between those objects and process might be, but among others, they might suggest hovering spaceships, historical artifacts or a surreal process of creation. Art is interpretation, both by the artist and by the viewer. I offer this as one point of view.
