Statement for 'Forest of Bygones'

The vessels arranged in a forest grouping are truncated, off-center, weathered and perforated, combining natural movement and an apparent state of organic deterioration that invokes the cycle of life, death, decay. The inescapable nature of change allows for the compiling of memory, as well as for a feeling of profound loss– the recognition of temporal beauty bound inextricably with grief. The grouping of pieces brings to mind a forest that is a remnant, a landscape of objects that remain after some kind of significant change, grave markers, or organic matter that has survived a great fire.
