Component Sculptures 2001-2004

Machined Baltic Birch plywood component pieces

These various constructions range from 500 to 3,500 attached pieces.  Each piece friction fits into the next.  Similar to most of my other constructions, the individual component is very simple in form but when configured with more pieces a beautiful complexity is created.  Because this sculpture consists of individual, non-permanently attached pieces, I am able to disassemble the pieces and reform it into a completely different structure.  These pieces have the potential to create a variety volumetric forms as well as linear forms.  It is only a matter of what gravity and balance will allow. These can be entirely integrated into the environment for which they are intended.  The form can snake up and around objects as well as over or under objects in it's path.  Since these components have a tremendous versatility and portability a further extension of the installation would be to occasionally disassemble and reconfigure aspects of the installation over time allowing the viewer to have multiple experiences as the installation reconfigures itself.  Every form that I create with these components is a meditative exploration and process that can never be perfectly replicated again.  Each sculpture is created with a certain amount of intuitiveness
