Accensa Hexditure

ACCENSA HEXDITURE (2019) is a sculpture of mine made made with water jet cut, black anodized aluminum forms, 1.27cm thick, clear transparent Plexiglas and stainless fasteners.  I call it 'Accensa Hexditure' because it involves light and also I like to think of it having 6 dimensions: XYZ, then time, light and sound.  These pieces for me are a "hybrid" form of art: combining concepts borrowed from melodic, harmonic and rhythmic musical structures, architecture and 3D forms.  Space is a big part of these works- both in the visual aesthetic and particular look of these works, but also in a practical way as sounds do move through, in and around these sculptures quite well!  Over time, specific pieces of music have been written and/or improvised, sometimes live, along with these works.  Specific music & sounds a as they relate to this sculptures I think of as an added material to the aluminum & Plexiglas: "sound material" in a way, that helps add and create an atmospheric quality around and through these works.  The "open-ness" of these works for me is important also in that I've found the form/design lets in and reveals the environment where they are placed.  If placed outside, they seem to have a certain visual dialog with nature; indoors there is a dialog within an architectural interior.  I like that a viewer can look through these sculptures, either through the acrylic glass pieces that can 'color' a viewers perception (if it's transparent, colored Plexiglas of course!), or just looking through the spaces and forms that make up the sculpture(s), or as I refer to them: Resonant Structures.
