Pyxis Awry 2021 (Plunge IX) (T-21-23)
May 2021. Bronze, pigment. Dimensions: 15.5 × 14 × 8 in (39 × 36 × 20 cm).
Collection: Adirondack Museum (ADK Experience), Blue Mt. Lake NY
Pyxis is a small and faint constellation in the southern sky. Its name is Latin for a mariner's compass
It is completely visible in latitudes south of 53 degrees north from January through March.
awry 1 : in a turned or twisted position or direction: askew 2 : off the correct or expected course: amiss
The works in this series feature a “vessel” form - historically understood in art and literature as a symbol or metaphor for the self, a group of people, human kind. If the vessel's compass is awry it will likely end up adrift, untethered, off course.
My intent with this series is raise questions/search for answers relative to personal (or a group) decisions or courses of action and shed light on the resulting consequences, whether they are personal, political, environmental.
