Ignition Series
This body of work focused on pieces that contained ephemeral characteristics. The visual transformations and dramatic stages were of great interest to me. Consumable materials such as alcohol and wood provided the catalysts in the pieces. The combustible materials were held in trough forms or architectural armatures; structured into wearable jewelry and other forms. When ignited, the pieces cycled through certain stages producing an ephemeral moment and ultimately a transformed result. I referred too many of the pieces as experiments due to a certain level of uncontrollability with the materials. Embracing those factors led me to produce this body of work.
