Elaborate Mythologies, 2005, Slip Cast Porcelain, Beaded Glass Tubes, Thread, Acrylic, 3 x 4 x 4'

Elaborate Mythologies is an investigation into information placement, memory, and response, created through the repetition and alteration of a unique form based on studies of nudibranchs and tunicate filters. Elaborate Mythologies is an interpretation of relationships: object to object, movement and intentionality, repetition and anomaly. The image is a culmination of studio experiments based on distinct biological forms that I associate with memory filtration, and the consequent movement through a space and time. The hundreds of slip cast porcelain forms with beaded glass tubules areresiduals of experience, sedimentary objects, markers of time and ritual.
