HURDLING THROUGH SPACE AT UNCONTROLLABLE SPEEDS...
When the audience walks in to "Hurdling through space at uncontrollable speeds..." they will experience a series of cinematic inspired paintings and sculptures. Panels with views of space and meteors line the walls, with a large stage drape at the back of the space. The meteoric sculptures are made of basswood and sit atop custom upholstered pedestals which reference the seats of a theater. By mixing two dimensional and three dimensional objects, I am bringing the objects in the paintings to life in real space. The sculptures become crashed space trash, or humans in their seats eating pop corn.

Working with the idea of the narrative, this exhibition details the moments of anticipation and potential before a narrative begins. I have chosen the genre of science fiction as a model because of the innumerable possibilities in this specific category of film. I am using the hurdling meteor as a metaphor for possibility. By not embarking on my own narrative, I intend for the audience to create their own.
