Vanishing Point and Tank Shrapnel are individual works but when shown together create a dialogue between the concurrence of imploding and exploding energy, order and chaos, and the everyday and the infinite. Vanishing Point references the infinite through suggestions of cosmological phenomenon and typical depictions of the Holy Spirit; Tank Shrapnel freezes the moment of an explosion when an object is transformed from something recognizable to something unknown. By hand-stitching these patterns and placing them in the familiar site of the bed I attempt to transform these abstract ideas into something that is understandable, knowable.
