Awake

2022-2023

Basketball, beeswax and pine resin, crystal, glass, and metallic seed beads, mother of pearl heirloom fragment, lazy susan, glass cloche, Canadian maple platter.

Awake utilizes an Olympic basketball, a form used intentionally as a fitting metaphor for the “oneness” of our world.

A crystalline saturnian planet is bound by orbital rings and the unity of its colours expands in four directions from pointed arrows over the surface of the sphere.

A mother of pearl heirloom makes up the centre of an eye that opens and shuts while the air inflating the form breathes itself.

Available as a quartet.
