Research Statement

As an academic, I'm known largely for my scholarly works, writings, and also for my work in the field -- specifically, going into diverse communities and working with children, making art, promoting dialogue and healing. What's fueling my classroom, conference, and social actions, however, is a very personal and highly material-based studio practice: one in which I internalize the outside forces and inner beliefs that guide me, and transform them into objects. Professors are also practitioners; artists are also activists. I make art because I am compelled to: a reason that I've always felt was the best motivation for creating new forms. Change—affecting it personally, and socially—is very important to me. Often, I look to ancient sources as my guide for this, in part because they hearken from a time more comfortable with notions of Transformation. I've gone to Bethlehem to glean wood from holy sites and used it to create staffs; I've compounded anointing oil based on the exact components (cassia, myrrh, cinnamon) as laid down in the book of Exodus, and offered it up in hand-blown glass dispensers to exhibition visitors—allowing them to anoint themselves as they see fit. I've made reliquaries of bronze (a material thought to have powerful "memorializing" qualities), and copper (for its "conduit"-like properties between the spirit and material worlds). Modern inventions like the sewing machine, and familiar office-tools like rolling casters, make their way into my sculptures as well. But at their root, these are forms that embody the sort of ineffable sense of 'shift' and internal re-orientation that I seek. Many of the pieces are small enough to carry on one’s person, and its only in close view that you'll truly get as sense of their presence: the rust on the metal tip of a staff; the hollow crab shells inside a hand-shaped reliquary; the touch of oil-rubbed wood. The tactile is a Formal response to the notion of the personal; materials are latent with message. Hence, I've spent a lot of time researching just what it is they might be trying to tell us; I've learned about early Jewish practices previously kept secret, of mysticism and magic—to the point where my studio practice can almost seem to border on the anthropological. That's an admixture with which I feel comfortable. I many ways I'm a visual archeologist, unearthing fragments of the past, digging up metaphor and parable that I then site into a personal narrative. The only way I can advocate change for Others is to begin with my own practice, put my own self and beliefs on the line. Viewers often respond with intense catharsis to these works, and I welcome that. Through the gentle power of shared emotion, darkness is exposed, and healing is brought to light.
