DESCENDENT DIALOGUES continues my ongoing examination of human history's indelible impact and influence on our modern psyche, culture and physical environments. In these small sculptures, fragments from the past are represented by vintage plastic toys, religious memorabilia, and discarded bits of hardware are combined with Power objects I have created over a lifetime. Once individually purposeful but now relegated to junk drawers, sculpture shelves, and dime store bargain bins, they signify the refuge of our culture now assigned to new roles in new narratives. The osmosis of memories and current events summons disparate elements to engage and speak anew - suggesting unexpected encounters wherein the images evoke the meaning.
DESCENDENT DIALOGUES portfolio includes 250 individually complete sculptures all about 12” tall.
