for anyone interested

My artist statement was changed alittle for the opening at AAC. So here is a copy of my original.


In my work, cubes become a thought process that I call Cubeular Thinking. It is a mindset that becomes meditative, but in a sort of shitty way. I’m interested in the infinite repetition of cubes as a shape, but the repetitive process in making the cubes becomes numbingly painful at times. I am use to working in a more sporadic and haphazard way but found a need to become more structured and organized to a degree. This was a realization I discovered after playing the video game Tetris for hours and hours at a time. I played this game so much that I would dream of the organization of cubes. There became a link between Tertis and what was happening in my life at that time. In the game, at first, the shapes are easy to arrange but as you advance to higher levels, the cubes fall to fast to handle. This is similar to the attempts I have had at structuring my own life. I try organizing at first, but eventually the results seem to always end up in a chaotic pile.
The cubes can represent anything. They can be examples of structure or chaos. This is why it is important that they are in order in areas, but become random piles in others. Their strengths are in numbers, depending on one another for stability. As a geometric shape cubes can represent space itself or can be boundaries of containing space. By their organization they have a practical use of space but as random piles they become a waste of space.
I see cubes reoccurring everywhere I look.
