Small creatures mill about the bottom of a darkened wall, aimlessly wandering until a visitor activates a bright spotlight. The creatures race toward the focus of the light, jostling for entry into its brightest part. One at a time they enter, distend, are ejected, and slowly descend only to deflate and restart their journey.
The E-Series
The works in this series use child-like drawings to examine, in a humorous way, the illusions that drive us. The creatures, with their huge, exaggerated faces and skeletal legs, are caricatures of the endlessly cycling everyman. Visually, the creatures are presented as shadows, illuminated only by the lights that are cast upon them. They cover all available surfaces, reacting to our intrusions into their small worlds.
