BELOW are images of convex and concave maple boxes that are 18 inches tall and 9 inches wide. They are made to rise from the wall at compound angles so to resemble the individual perspectives of people. The idea of "Finding Zero" is brought to the table by realizing that even though each box has a different perspective to it that any of these forms can agree once set onto the other. That it is where the convex becomes concave at a powerful, infinitely compressed moment of amalgamation and creativity. This is "Finding Zero" or "The Temple of Now". The concept also runs closely to the "Stone Graffiti" series through the attachment of complex ideas to form.
This body of work was inspired over a week-long rain storm. I had been walking down an alley and had seen a pile of scrappy, disorganized wood. As the days of rain continued and the water pouring of the back of this warehouse roof, slowly soaked the wood, it caused the pile to start to spoon into its self. It was as if it were starting to come to agreement with its self. That the chaos was almost nurtured by the rain into harmony. Over the week, I had witnessed a performance art piece in the happening.
