metamorphosing

the use of materials separated
and removed from their previous contexts,
such as wild grasses, and mason jars,
function as compositional elements
within this ceremonial act

engaging and metamorphosing
the immediate surroundings,
the room transports the observer
into otherworldly scenarios,
seamless futuristic intentions
and devises, while guiding visitors
through fairy-tale metaphors

furtive display devices create
glimpses into idiosyncratic
worlds inhabited by suspended long,
slender, soft-bodied, legless,
bilaterally symmetrical invertebrates,
oddly disjointed from the overall interior
to create awkward sites for voyeuristic activity

anachronistically frozen in space,
mythological taxidermy hybrids insinuate
elements of exploitation of chance effects,
unexpected juxtapositions,
renderings from an ancient catalogue
that collides with futuristic settings

enigmatic outlines are drawn by the
structures of these environs
but motion and individual tableaux
tend to interject more personal narratives

these are various cloaking devices,
such as semi-transparent glass containers,
a window that one may uncomfortably
peer through, insinuating the
complicity of the observer

viewers will encounter unlikely
temporal amalgamations,
as futurisms of the past
collide with aberrant, abnormal,
imaginations drawn from mythological archives
