About me:
Im an artist and always have been. I recieved my masters degree in International Relations. I used to work in politics. This explains alot.
Below is a new sereies of works called OFFERINGS TO THE NSC - These digital outputs are combinations of my sculptures (called Liminal Offerings) with the covers of the United States National Security Council Strategy statements of 1994, 2002 and 2006. The transparent resin sculptures (half one image and half another) are my talismans, reliquaries, my philosopher’s eggs, my touchstones. By intersecting and penetrating the NSC papers and the “offerings” with each other I attempt to bring redemptive powers to these doctrines. The interposition of the offerings with the NSC covers resuscitates the wiser, generous, more liberal aspects of our national security goals and redeems the corrosive, selfish and short-sighted policies and practices.
Who I'd like to meet: LIMINAL OFFERINGS is an exploration of a discourse on “liminality”: the notion of sensory boundaries and thresholds across psychological, philosophical and spiritual borders. The resin “offerings” depict forms that are half one image and half another. They take the form of talismans and devotional reliquaries, while the physical property of transparency (simultaneously seeing the imagery depicted and the space behind) gives added significance to ideas of boundaries, illusionary space and spiritual transcendence. Some of these objects are also recurring images from prior bodies of work, for example, “Si, Perro” (the “head-less” dog). This installation is a meditation of my personal definition on the subject of the “liminal”.
