Opus
2016
 Box- 44'' x 21' x15'
Area- 63''x 46'

sheet metal, leather belts, steel door knocker and brackets, silk fabrics


A structure seemingly breaking apart at the seams found in the folding away lid, breaking brackets and clips, scratches across door knocker, and the leather belts holding down this "case." In the heat swirls on the lid reads "Opus", personally defined as an invisible place we put things that we do not want to deal with or want others to know. It is a place we store our innermost emotions and memories, not all negative. This sculpture is presented with royally colored fabrics, because my opus is held in the utmost respect in my conscious mind. But the main question at hand, is something trying to break out or in? Who exactly is doing this and why? What is inside?
