City Blocks. 2015                                    contact

  City Blocks , done  in early 2015 ,were  my first  freestanding sculptures. 
They are  three-dimensional sketches,  tactile expressions and explorations  of crowding , spacing, growth, expansion and connection in urban areas.  The  idea came as I was arranging painted horizontal rows of  painted  wood scraps in a shoebox. I turned one vertically and saw a city tower. They are small,   2x2x3" up t o 8 x10x8"  

There is a  synergy between these small structures and my paintings and installations. 
​
A major focus with these works was  how to present them; eye level, on the floor, table top?
together or separate?   with other work?  The introduction of translucent materials was inspired by  the glazes and transparencies in my paintings  and refers to the glass curtain facades of urban architecture.
