ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Pocket Candies is a wall sculpture composed of twelve palm sized bronze sculptures. Their average size is 1.5" X 1.5" X 0.25".
Their asesthtic taps into combined traditions of Netsuke Carvings and Tibetan worry stones.
Each pocket candy was originally patinated with oxalic acid. I would buff them naturally by carrying a couple in my front pocket for about a month at a time fingering them and showing them to inquisitive friends.
At the end of twelve months the collection was displayed visually floating off the gallery wall.
