Composition with Pines Cones, Shells & Carobs (12.1)

Composition with Pines Cones, Shells & Carobs (12.1)

In this piece, the coming together of objects from nature that I collected through the years excited me. I've enjoyed exploring the possibilities of joining different shapes, textures, and colors, and making a composition by arranging them on a porcelain base.

Pebble Base & Glass II (193.1)

Pebble Base & Glass II (193.1)

How to relate smooth black pebbles and multi-colored pieces of broken glass, the materials of this sculpture, excited me! It was a great challenge to figure out to how “marry" them in a graceful, organic way. 

I love these sentences from Eli Siegel’s essay “Art as Composition," which describes what artists, including myself, are going for:

“Where difference seems sameness, there is tension—present in all composition. The tension managed, controlled, makes for repose. Composition, then, is the finding of tension, or emergency and repose or security, among a number of visual objects. The number is unlimited. The interrelation of objects never stops.”
