Artist Statement
In both indirect recycling and artworks there's a linguistical error when using terms such as: Broken, Shattered, Abused and Abstracted. It's asymmetrical (in the circuitous nature of modernism) to consider those transformations socio-economicaly nonviable while Transition, Conversion, Rapture and Recovery elicit positive cultural values. It's all just Time/ Waste Management.
This Timefold series uses recycled windshield glass, demonstrating potentiality for transparent boundaries, fragile tenacity, synthesized ideas, real and symbolic tensions which modifies with light conditions; casting complex light patterns, and generating visual illusions.
