Manifest-Relationship

Relationships change daily. All interactions between people are poetic adaptations, shaping and configuring a dynamic between what we need and what we want. Four works presented here define affecting forces that emerge when emotional connections change. 'Monday Morning', 'Tuesday Afternoon', 'Thursday Afternoon', 'Friday Night'. 4 sculptures, Paraffin, jewellers' wax, oil pigment on Plaster of Paris , Paraffin, and jewellers' wax. Each aprox 9" x 8" x 5" (2012)

I chose to make the work rough,
because relationships can manifest turbulence, difficulties
while maintaining the integrity
of each participant, and the configured outcome.

The white paraffin is translucent, referring to the transmission
of light that people display when engaged, although
allowing the complete recognition of themselves, as people
hold back their thoughts and emotions
as a protective mechanism.

The blue jeweller wax, harder and more distinct than paraffin,
highlights the mutually acknowledged delights
and memories a couple may share,
the blue oil, the most intense memories of their mutual life.
