Artist's
Statement
I am interested in the dynamic relationships of objects in motion and
their interaction with the outdoor environment. Flock of Birds
celebrates this idea and is inspired by the aerial ballet of swarming
birds, often seen as multifaceted, mirror-like arrays along the seashore
and coastal wetlands.
The sculpture explores the qualities of light and playful choreography
of an organized grouping of rapid, small movements within a larger, slower
movement. The rotating. metal surfaces break up and reflect back angular
fragments of light from the natural surroundings, a kind of animated,
Cubist painting.
Within the peaceful setting of Forest Hills Cemetery, the sculpture becomes
a portal for indicating the evanescent flow of spiritual energy.
