Title: WISH Media: 2x4, cedar shakes, concrete, bronze, dirt, clay, coal, sand, steel, wood, and cubic zirconia. 10'x10'x4'.
Wish is a sculptural work completed in March 2020. The work was created for a solo exhibition in the Kimura Gallery at UAA. The show was installed but never opened it’s doors because of a campus shut down due to Covid-19. The work includes three main components. A circular roof made of reclaimed roofing cedar shakes, creating refuge; a pile of cast concrete wave breaks, to provide protection against erosive forces; and a wishbone resting precariously on top providing a glimmer of hope. The wishbone is made from laminated 2x2’s, cubic zirconia, steel, dirt, sand, coal, clay, and bronze. The feet of the wish bone emulating a core samples from earth and the top inlayed with cubic zirconia touching upon the sky, glittering almost like stars.
