About the artwork
As featured in: The Spindle, the Shuttle, and the Needle, Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum, May 12 - Aug 6, 2023.
This installation harkened back to the childhood notion of ‘play’, evoking a sense of joy, wonder, and catharsis. Two dozen steel and paracord sculptures, ranging in size from six inches to seven feet, are the product of three years in studio, two artist residencies, and countless hours of research.
From the exhibition essay by Mikey Estes:
The Spindle, the Shuttle, and the Needle, a reference to Grimm’s eponymous fairy tale, marks the artist’s first solo exhibition since 2014’s Tom Sawyer Wears A Business Suit. Where the latter explored the relationship between a single form and architectural space, this exhibition situates a group of recent works in formal and spatial conversation with one another: 18 of the artist’s small weavings, 2 new figurative works, a pair of 7’ diameter wheels, and an enlarged saddle. The works, which combine public art vernacular with a modernist approach to sculpture, engage with traditional craft through contemporary means.
