LONELY HOURGLASS


LONELY HOURGLASS
low fire ceramic with yellow finish
work date: spring 2013

One of my favorite modes of abstraction is deconstruction. Both this piece and WORDS IN THE DIRT are at the start of leaving the whole circle behind. By offsetting more and more circles on a few different planes I am able to enhance the movement or sense of vertigo one might get from an actual rollercoaster.

As deconstruction allows me to leave the circle behind, the work now begins to move away from the idea of referencing roller coasters specifically. Now I can focus on the broader venues of structure, movement, and whimsy.
