The current series of sculptures (the arcs) that I am working on is new and still revealing itself to me. As my previous series represented passages or transitions through hardships and personal journeys, these new works conceptualize the reflections one has after coming through changes and the harmony and stillness that comes with achieving peace of mind. Inspired by my late father's old hunting bow, these arcs really began as "restrung bows." The arcs/bows and the strings coming together in different ways to tell or play different thoughts, states of being, or stories. And of course, like most conceptual art, whatever I had in mind while creating a work, the message may change considerably depending on the viewer, with its original "birthing" concept remaining a secret. |
