Pencil on paper. 32 × 32 inches. Taken Together considers the many things we share that make us human. Words and phrases describing the body, emotion, memory, need, and everyday experience occupy the same visual field. Their continuous circular arrangement has no fixed beginning or end. Through repetition and accumulation, distinct experiences contribute to a whole that no single word can define. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5437d9fee4b0c887346a73b7/1792871045781-89DJ59NP5047HVTJKB31/IMG_1140.jpeg Artwork https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5437d9fee4b0c887346a73b7/1792867753739-2ZI6Z8QL5IP3YQZYYWS7/IMG_4603.JPG Artwork LEFT: Lodestone (High Dive), 2025. Enamel on shaped wood. 96 x 9 x 9 inches. RIGHT: Lodestone (Roulette), 2025. Enamel on shaped wood. 96 x 9 x 9 inches. The titles High Dive and Roulette suggest two distinct forms of risk: one involving a deliberate leap into uncertainty, the other surrendering an outcome to chance. Both imply a willingness to accept the possibility of failure. Paired with the bending columns, these associations reinforce the tension between stability and instability. The columns appear straight and structurally sound from certain viewpoints, yet visibly bend and compress from others, suggesting that what appears secure or dependable may be less certain than it seems.
