Care Package For Luke

I find your exploration of material, and form really interesting, and I think your recent work stands out because of its more clearly accessible conceptual connotations. However, your recent work is also exceptionally fragile, and presented in a precarious way. This makes me uneasy and I wonder if that sense of unease could be more readily addressed by the work?

Your diorama-like works involve meticulous detail and craftsmanship, does the intended message of your work ever become lost or secondary to the creation of the diorama?

Could the surface treatment, be it paint, glaze, etc., help accentuate, and draw attention to the conceptual aspects of your work that you feel go overlooked?

Does you work only exist on a pedestal? Could renditions of your work exist at such a scale so as to no longer require presentation on a pedestal? (I think a lot about the energy of some of your notecard drawings, and how those drawings seem to occupy more space than is actually available on a notecard. They are not confined within a white boarder, because you have filled the surface of the card completely. Your 2 and 3 dimensional work share beautiful linear, and formal qualities. However, your 3 dimensional art is always place on a pedestal, and thereby contained within those white boundaries.
