Bundles
These are visual metaphors for the obligations and responsibilities all of us carry which define our lives. No one can tell, from observing another’s bundle, whether it contains bittersweet burdens or joyous treasures… or perhaps a measure of both.
These sculptures start as soft, yielding clay and are finished after firing by being bound with aged twisted copper wire and weathered clamps that served for over a hundred years as lightening rod grounding-wire on a barn in Roxbury, CT.
The wire was chosen for its aesthetic beauty as well as provenance by reminding us that life is very much grounded by what we choose to carry in our bundles.
