Singularity Sink - Shards In Space

(clay, ceramic, and glass shards collected 2004-2023; photographed and arranged in spacetime)

Each of us is akin to a SINGULARITY. We take in an unending stream of inputs from the world around us, bits and pieces of reality that we glean from the spacetime about us. We collect an accumulating set of inputs as if shards found along a creek bed, or washed by the tide. We have a seemingly endless capacity to absorb information.

Art Singularity - Wormhole

(clay, ceramic, and glass shards collected 2004-2023; photographed; streamed in spacetime toward quantum fabrication steps.)

Some of these shards of experience we radiate out again. This radiation (Hawking Radiation as defined by astrophysics of a black hole) can be interpreted as reflecting our experience: simple walkabouts; kind words in passing; even lifetime achievements. We send out information that is a reaction (conscious or unconscious) to myriad inputs. Sometimes, in our SINGULARITY OF SELF, we deliberately focus our responses - a bit like a Singularity Wormhole might connect to another universe.

Singularity Outpouring - Shards In Time

(clay, ceramic, and glass shards collected 2004-2023; photographed; turned into symmetrical quanta using NthDerivatives method; and released into spacetime)

That which we radiate from ourselves is shaped by the crucible of our beings. From shards of collected input we may construct new objects, reflecting our individual, singular experience. We make a quantum leap, constructing a reality that we find pleasing.

This is my theory, which I will endeavor to prove during the 2023-2024 term of this Universal Exhibition: ART SINGULARITY = QUANTUM THEORY OF ART

“When one’s heart is glad, he gives away gifts. Our Creator gave it to us, to be our way of doing things, to be our way of rejoicing, we who are [Kwakwaka'wakw]. Everyone on earth is given something. The potlatch was given to us to be our way of expressing joy.” — Elder Agnes Axu Alfred

Parfleche Potlatch Exhibition Worldwide 2020 is inspired by these Indigenous People’s concepts of wrapping objects, of gift giving, of celebrating. The Artist celebrates his family, their well-being, our blessings — a marriage, the birth of a grandson, the birth of three nephews, continued health (Deo Volente) in this time of COVID.

#Day25000

Solo exhibition at {Poem88} Gallery 2018

Create, record, reflect – Knot theory as a quantum string dynamic
 

On June 30, 2018 the artist reached 25000 days of life.

The artist presented a body of work to celebrate and remember those 25000 days. Knotted strings and ropes recorded every day of each year of the artist’s existence, a passage of time now counting in its sixty-ninth year. Each of 69 strands of string, knotted to record the number of days, is a recovered timespace. Solo show 2018 at {Poem88} Gallery, Atlanta, GA.
