earth, as earth // empty hand // all thoughts are prey to some beast
This is my exploration on organic forms created by mixing earth and water with free hand movements. Collected earth samples around the southwest region where I reside and crushed them until they reached a smooth consistency. Color variation of the soils express their different content which affects their texture and the limits of plasticity. Each form contains a space in which the hand can settle and relate. The name Empty Hand comes from the quote 'one receives with an empty hand' and offers us a playground. I invite the viewer to touch these forms, examine their textures and intervene in their place on the pedestal. January 2019 - February 2022
