Artist's Comments

Untitled III is from a series of three sculptures derived from utilitarian objects specifically chosen for enlargement to monumental scale. I am drawn to common and obscure objects from a modernist appreciation of form. My interest is equally sustained by awareness that these objects were designed for hand use and they are artifacts of a time when technology was still largely dependant on manual process. The shape, part-to-part functional relationship, age and wear became point of interpretation and abstraction. Resemblance to the original objects' form and function were not as important as developing a series of sculptures that elicits a range of representations and associations.
