Circles constitute the form and content of almost all of my work. This untitled piece is comprised of circles that have been twisted and rotated almost past the point of circularity. I wanted to see how far I could push the form. I also wanted to create something that feels organic and flowing out of hard industrial elements. (These are 180-degree pipe elbows.) I hope that viewers will be reminded of calligraphy or of Kiki Smith's Intestine.
