Vestments explores the body: how we display & mask the body & ourselves through the visual language of clothing. The signals we send both consciously & subconsciously are examined.

Clothing is explored as shelter; both psychic & architectural space. The sculptures present iconic and graphic images of reduced and abstracted forms of female undergarments. Planes of color intersect to become volume and form. Though absent the form implies the body. The sculptures are distilled images where complex visual systems of reference and meaning meet and overlap. Associations surface. Subconscious desires emerge. The  sculptures reveal primal emotions such as seduction, power and it’s correlative of slavery, beauty, narcissism, fear, the motivating force of sexuality, the nurture of the young vs. the killing of the offspring, public vs. private persona. Cultural states of mind and collective thought are probed through the iconography of women’s clothing.
