Parts are attached to a pivoting axis with magnets, allowing reposition. Cut spoons, shown in reverse, reflecting a convex and inverted world in tandem.

Toss in the asphalt is an installation in a white-walled room with large windows - a reconstruction of the back of a garbage truck stands upright against the wall. Fall leaves are scattered around the floor, piling up at the edges of the walls and in corners as if there’s wind, and a few feet from the truck is a small concrete fragment with a single cigarette burning upright.

“ Mi obra se basa en el potencial de los objetos ordinarios y benignos para agitarse, para descarrilar con fluidez física y emocional. Obras recientes de escultura están animadas por el sonido, el olor o el tacto de formas que documentan el tiempo: lámparas que queman aceite, campanas que suenan, agua que se evapora, fragancias difusas y cigarrillos encendidos.”
