Ring # 1
Being from the large city I can’t say that my connection with the natural world has ever been that strong. As a child of course I played outside and rolled around in the dirt from time to time, but I was never really taught to appreciate these natural occurrences as special or secret.
As and adult I have grown to be more aware of my surroundings and the natural elements that many of us take for granted. In this work I am hoping to manifest a relationship with nature that I never had. By creating fictitious gesture of to what I perceive as being natural is somewhat of a stepping-stone for me to come to terms with what I have been neglecting. By physically putting these wearable objects into the ground I am symbolically bridging the gap between the natural elements and myself, trying to get closer to a certain understanding.
Ultimately this piece from top to bottom will be about 4 and half feet tall
This first piece is a little over 2 feet tall
This is balsa wood and cast bronze
Ok yeah, I carved and hollowed this whole piece out of wax, you wouldn't believe how light it is.
I'm a freak
