random objects : random thoughts, 2009 

Medium: wood, resin, bronze, needlepoint, leather, fabric, plaster
Dimensions: variable size
Exhibition: akau inc., Toronto. 

Thoughts, images, words, objects; random objects, random thoughts are the fragments that create a disconnected narrative of associations, relationships, gestures ... like a poem. It references art history, past and present with a nod to Brancusi's Endless Column and the leap of faith required to make art. It is about traditional and contemporary making processes such as the digitally produced resin pieces, the plaster mould required to make bronze, the handmade needlepoint and the handmade doll. These processes are a metaphor for change, transitions, dislocations, girlhood, personal history and memory.

random objects, random thoughts is a small gesture made to extract understanding from an assemblage of seemingly disparate objects and images.
