Pas de deux series

Pas de deux is a series of wall-based sculptures consisting of simple right-angled shelves with a collection of objects on them. The shelves are tropical hardwood with a close grain. The objects are stitched velvet filled with gravel, and appear to be universally readable shapes, suggestive of geometric forms. The components of the work contrast in texture and alternate in light and dark tones - a checkerboard of fleshy hues interrupted by deep green teal.

The shelves function as miniature stages on which the objects perform. There is a shift in scale between the objects and their positioning, suggestive of landscapes and giant monoliths or alters and talisman. They are paired up like body parts in a game or trophies elevated to prize position, where the tension between the duos is the choreography of their pas de deux.
