sold out

July 2021. Bronze. Dimensions: 5 × 16.5 × 7 in (13 × 42 × 18 cm).

Pyxis is a small and faint constellation in the southern sky. Its name is Latin for a mariner's compass  

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.
