METAMORPHOSIS

The sculpture
Metamorphosis refers to a field of tension in wich a visual ‘rotation’ imposes
itself. Metamorphosis is developed spatially and evokes boundaries, but also
allows the work to provide shelter to those in search of refuge. This sculpture
creates apertures, openings that can be completed in the mind. It is a
vulnerable and tangible work but, at the same time, supple.

It alludes to
protection and security, but also to pliable forms: an ostensibly upright
composition, Metamorphosis ultimately tilts into a horizontal plane.

Bot the vertical and horizontal surfaces are suggestive of additional
components.

You can shelter
from the rain and high summer sun under the ‘canopy’, but draw the distant
landscape inwards via the visualized lateral openings. The metal structure is
as graceful as it is angular, and is suggestive of a form of claustrophobia, of
a narrowing that gives rise to an experience that is more cathartic than
limiting? The ‘ethereal’ sculpture allows space to expand. As a result, the
core, or the substance of the work, can me described as lucid.
