"PORTALS and PASSAGES 2020 II" 10/2020, 8.5"h x13"w x7"d (21 x 33 x 18 cm)
Private Collection: US Virgin Islands|
In the
Portals and Passages Series , originally begun in 1987,
the vessel and the act of navigating also play prominent roles. Openings
or portals are featured suggesting entrance or passages into spaces
and places, both real and figurative. In the Portal and Passages 2020
series a vessel form, again historically understood as a metaphoric
“container or carrier” of an individual, a group, or even
society in its entirety, is typically careening through a portal or
circular opening. In the context of the year 2020 it suggests a “passage”
from a dark and politically stymied place into a new decade and a brighter
more hopeful future |
