FUNNELS  (1995-2003)

​

My initial attraction to funnels was that they embody both male and female characteristics. My work prior to this time had been figurative, usually intimate in nature, sometimes erotic. I incorporated these traits into the works by anthropomorphizing the Funnels. 

​

Some of the Funnels examine the nature of flow, with particular regards to the body and its fluids.

​

Transitional states and moments of change have always intrigued me. The charged nature of these events or states of mind generate excitement and anxiety. The funnel serves as a metaphor for transition. You cannot be stationary in a funnel. Its entire purpose is to act as a link in the midst of change. And in doing so, it serves as both guide and witness to the resulting transformation.
