Trapped

We succeed or fail, imagine or ignore, and love or hate from the influences of our human experiences.

This series explores a few of life’s many experiences through sculptural expression. The work also expresses some of my artistic influencers – M.C. Escher’s perception of symmetry and Piet Mondrian’s simple abstractions. I use the geometric and architectural commonality of both artists to simplistically express my feelings through the use of the most basic design elements – straight lines and circles. In these works the straight lines expresses the emotion of a life experience and the sphere symbolizes a human perspective.

The “Trapped” sculpture envelops its occupant leaving only small windows to offer a glimpse of opportunity and freedom.

“You are caught in an empty house, in a box, in a place that is not happy. You are trapped inside you and wherever you go, there you are.”
