Pyxis Awry (Strainer) (T-20-71)
December 2020. Bronze. Dimensions: 3.5 × 13.5 × 8.5 in (9 × 34 × 22 cm).
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.
