I think of my sculpture as an object deeply grounded in human nature and the cycle of life. The shape of a pentagon has always been regarded as a mystical and mythological number making many references to nature. Think about how just the number 5 relates to one’s body. It is also related to the five stages of life; birth, adolescence, coitus, parenthood, and death. The continuous lines of these interconnected pentagons are used to evoke the making of the world and it’s many continuous cycles. Placed in an outdoor setting this sculpture is also shown returning to the nature it was created from.
