(his) suspended support

every aspect in this piece becomes extremely important and sybolic...

a certain tension has been created by the juxtaposition of the rigid mangled metal against the light delicate decaying sutures leaves and paper towels....

the idea was loosely based ultimately around creating a tool to reach the unobtainable... which would be my father's support...

where the metal becomes the part supporting the decaying sheet of leaves sewn to paper towels ... The form was created in reminiscent of a child's fort... which creates a space for only one person... surrounded by the truth of the relationship... decaying leaves attached to a reduced version of its former support (a tree trunk - the derivative of paper towels) ... it is an artificial support... that has been reduced to the same thin vulnerable quality of the leaves...
