Object Portraiture

Object Portraiture explores the material integrity of common objects.  A play on memory and meaning occurs with the act of taking the object’s portrait: essentially isolating the objects from their everyday context and allowing them a new kind of meaning through that isolation.

This body of work evolved from an ongoing fascination and collection of old “precision” tools used in various crafts such as drafting, machine making and woodworking. Conceptually stripped down to basic ideas of materiality and form, these portraits express my primary interest in the formal and utilitarian qualities of these objects.
