Itself

Collaborative exhibition of daemonic sculpture with boxcutters. Shown at Co-Lab Project Space, Austin, TX. Over the course of a week the space was transformed into an installation of terracotta-like totems made from cardboard, wheat paste, a Xerox machine, and various blades. Visitors to the space observed the creation and were encouraged to contribute their own talents as well. The resulting sculptures were the evil twin of perfection. Dark, ritualistic celebration and the destruction of ego. In trying to manifest oneness or completeness into a physical form, they look abject, visceral, and approaching entropy. They are the solid brown lumps that a child makes when she mixes all her food on a plate that is all going the same place anyway. They are constructed with a compulsive obsession for seeing the obscene. Yet that obsession becomes playful and satisfying when we watch our creative origins bubble to the surface for a moment before dissolving into itself.
