Houses, ladders and chairs have figured frequently as evocative, primal shapes in sculpture over the past decades. They have become almost their own genre, with artists and artisans using these forms to explore the human creatures who use and make them.


TEXT•URE

Deep Calls to Deep
Deep Calls to Deep

"Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me," Psalm 42:7. Fabricated for a chapel niche situated in a hospital in Maryland.

"Text•ure I: How Words Work"
"Text•ure I: How Words Work"

"It is in the way in which words can reach so far and so tenderly beyond themselves that they are holy; it is in their wont of grasping more than they can hold that they are human."

 "To touch is to see is to know."

"To touch is to see is to know."

Deep Calls to Deep "Text•ure I: How Words Work"  "To touch is to see is to know."

This series uses the forms of human hands, carved from various woods, marked by a pattern of small nails. The nail heads describe a passage written in Braille.
