June 2009. Slate, pigmented steel. Dimensions: 5.5 x 14 x 7 in. (14 x 36 x18 cm). Used as scale model for “Passage” large scale commission for Tsinqhua University, Beijing, China.
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.
