Bleeding Rock and Stone

April 21, 2022

April 21, 2022

For the past four months, a series of 3D assemblages and fine art photographs of assemblages have been my focus. The works are influenced by the stark bluntness of Brutalist architecture and an appreciation for the beauty and expressive qualities of humble materials—rock, corrugated cardboard, and concrete.

The materials are able to shed identification of original use and take on human characteristics of passion, cruelty, sympathy, and love, revealing and appreciating humanity in all its complex, terrifying, and beautiful forms.

They are the characters in my play.
