This cavernous sculpture is a highly layered and richly textured landscape, also behaving as a bodily figure with the sloping form and extended ‘limbs’. In this way, the cavern is living and mid-transformation, a cocoon of morphing matter. Utilizing the press for this process, as dozens of monotypes are embedded into the sculptural form, exemplifies the immense pressure which accompanies cavernous formations as well as queer desiring for transformation and change. This piece engages the viewer in a way that mimics the type of curiosity and transformation that fuels my practice for myself: A making process that engages my whole body and considers permeability between interiority and exteriority, and vulnerability. The viewer gets to take part in this three dimensional painting, where caverns dip into openings and one must follow their curiosity deeper into the piece. The cave is a place for exploring yearning, curiosity, rest, and radical desires. The cave both retreats and beckons, playing with ideas of tension and slack, tangle and fray.
