Titled after a Japanese proverb meaning only now exists, ahead there is nothing until it becomes now. This sculpture utilizes a 1969 Dodge Charger fiberglass drag car hood, flat screen TV, and an Infrared Camera. The Camera projects the viewers image on the screen built into the car hood which hangs on the wall. This affect creates a digital mirror allowing the viewer to see their image in a dark and somewhat distorted living representation. The artwork exists somewhere between the viewer and the sculpture.

A study of tension, composition and material. This sculpture combines materials and object found in a warehouse which contains items collected by my family over many years. Some items are sentimental, others are detritus leftover from a factory business which once occupied the same space.
Plywood is scored and pulled into a loaded position by a small winch. The winch is attached to an antique Cadillac bumper section. These objects balance on a metal factory worker's stool.

52 gallons of latex paint poured into a plywood form, 1 gallon a week. The paint was allowed to dry week to week. The sculpture is an example of time and process. Layers of paint within the large slabs mark the passing of a year taken to create the artwork.
