Welcome to the “Ancestral Spaceship” series of assemblage iconic sculptures, a 3-D twist on my 2-D composite work. Each totem-like construction represents a different traditional icon that is common to Indigenous creation stories and ceremonial practices across North, Central and South America. These hanging altars are constructed from found wood. The various surfaces display collaged layers in relief. These layers incorporate an array of original hand rendered art and reproduced media, including digital formats. This could include acrylic, photos, oil pastel, pen, block print, found imagery and papers, maps, pencil, feathers, lithograph, imprinted clay and cutouts of recycled digitally edited passages.
In the Words of a Past Student:
"I had forgotten about your sculptures that you showed us that one time in class and I had no idea they were a series! I went back to view all of them on your website and I have got to say that they are nothing short of astounding. Art on a three-dimensional surface is so mind-blowing to me in itself, but there is something especially captivating about your work. I don't think I can choose a favorite because all of them have this quality about them that instantly captures and holds your attention. They really give off a vibe as if they are extraterrestrial and have a presence of their own. I love that you drew inspiration from your heritage and were able to translate that history into something new and expressive."
