"Used and Abused"

2019

MDF, steel, concrete, grease, hair

Aprox. 7 feet tall, 4 feet wide, 4 feet deep


  Just as the delicate psyche of humans, physical and emotional abuse begins to take its toll on the soul of tools and objects, rendering them obsolete, trashed, and forgotten.  This sculpture is a physical representation of the sadness that seeps and festers itself within the very core of a soul that has been used and abused.  It serves as a reminder to care for even the most miniscule of objects like tissues, Q-tips, or a bar of soap.  Practicing the appreciation and respect of small items becomes a springboard for appreciating objects and relationships in your own life.
