Forest for the Trees, Paper, Wire, Polyurethane, 4'x18"x17"

This piece compares our life experience to the biological phenomenon of metamorphosis. A direct relationship is drawn between the body and a structure that is temporarily occupied.

Upon doing so, it may be discovered that what is thought to be a beginning or ending may actually be a mere transition.
