Short Circuits

The canvas for each work in this collection is a discarded piece of computer hardware -- a circuit board -- a map of reality-driven, mathematically-based thinking that is already compromised by anthropomorphism.  The other images and objects that comprise the work have been collected over a period of almost thirty years.  Some are much older than that -- costume jewelry inherited from my grandmothers, antiques and oddities.  Each has already been the object of careful selection, and final incorporation into a completed artwork is the endpoint of an already lengthy process.  Read a fuil description of the series.
