Interconnected Statement:

The interconnectedness of all things is explored in the Interconnected Series as a reminder that the small affects the large and the large affects the small.  It may be that they are one and the same, but we cannot logically perceive that fact.

The Community sculptures explore huddles of personalities that make up a bustling collection of consciousnesses.  The mathematically represented personalities are shown through quantum mechanics or the fibbonacci sequence.  It may be that our communities are comprised of personalities actively developing spiritually or simply just a passive part of nature remaining as they are.  Whether each consciousness follows a path of a quantum particle or a growing crustacean shell, no matter; we are still all here together interconnected as a community that shifts and pulls the perceptions, thoughts, and feelings of one another.  I am you and you are me, while our consciousnesses are interconnected.

The Infinite Processes sculptures use neon tubes to provide vantage points that humans cannot tangibly experience.  Time dilation and duration are frequently explored concepts, which are beyond our experience because we are always physically in the present moment.  Time exposure concepts explored by Duchamp and the Bragagglia brothers are used here to show how motion consumes space.  In a static form the neon works show movement in time as it really is in space.  The observer is asked to reconsider time and space with the disorienting and complicated assemblage of motion.
