About

These sculptures are not just to be looked at. They’re tactile. They’re to be lifted – if they can be – and weighed in the hand; turned over. You need to feel the weight of the copper to intuit the weight of the words stamped on them. When you pick up one of these works, however, its weight comes with a little shock of surprise. Solid copper is unexpectedly heavy. The metaphorical weight of the emotion is experienced physically with a tug of gravity and it gains a kind of physical equivalency. You feel it in your body.
