Comment

If The Universe is at Anytime What You Say It Is...Then Say It The concept of this sculpture is that the moon circles the space with power provided by the sun. This project represents an attempt to avoid a double bind. The sculpture as model for a selfperpetuating body provided that the conditional necessities are met, the model can neither agree or disagree with its condition, it rises and sets with the sun. Unlike the usual no-win situation, there is difficulty defining the exact nature of the paradoxical situation in which it is. Contradictions may not be immediately evident, but only become so when a prior context is considered. Typically, a demand is imposed upon the subject by an external force, but the demand itself is inherently impossible to fulfill, because some broader context forbids it. This model is a controlled environment, a Double-Blind/Double-Bind, an ongoing experiment in an attempt to exist within a closed-circuit of its own balanced anarchy. Utopia...why?
