squaring the circle
2015
Squaring the Circle was an installation in 3 parts or attempts. The installation name was borrowed from the famous mathematical problem that taunted scholars of antiquity to create a circle and square of identical size using only a compass and straight edge, a challenge that has, by now, become a metaphor for attempting the impossible.
Each part of the installation was an exploration of a different sculptural strategy to embody the essence of a square, a gesture seeking to uncover a healthy and productive balance within a duality structure. Between assertion and submission, order and chaos, literal and metaphorical, conceptual and intuitive.
