In Loving Memory of my Tears
A few moments in our lives brings us into the present. At those specific moments, tears are often present in joy or sorrow – they capture the emotion and moment and identify us and our lives.
My teardrop sculptures specify a moment by incorporating a text, poem, lyrics or written words to the surface of the teardrop shape. To signify the moment, the teardrop will be positioned on a water ripple that will serve as the plinth with a magnetic stabilising effect.
Currently, I am working with 15 different shapes and sizes but aim to provide a sculpture that engages you in its present by holding it and letting it capture your thoughts and senses.
As a collector, you will be able to develop your own or your families collection in a clutter of ripples, or more rightfully denote your genuine thoughts and emotion for public sculpture capturing moments of a nation or a community.
I envision an entire wall installation in the gallery with approximately 70 different teardrops arranged in the format of a giant set box.
