Shizen (Nature) Kumo (Cloud) for Glass House:
The Kumo (Cloud) cube is a sculpture inspired by
a visit to the Glass House designed by architect Philip Johnson. As I was
walking the grounds, I imagined what his house would look like if it were
isolated, contained in a cloud. I then photographed the sky above the Glass
House, hoping to capture that moment.
Clouds are constantly
changing and have fascinated me for their ability to communicate impermanence.
I see clouds as a metaphor for the idea that all things in life are transitory.
Glass was an appropriate material for this sculpture in that glass itself is in
an amorphous state, existing in a state between a liquid and a solid.
