The title reveals the concept. A simple circle form, a plain doily…sculpture
or craft? Mounted to or supported by a basic square form normally
used to exhibit paintings. The square poplar support is structurally
assisted with plywood triangle forms that create a negative space
octagon. A support changes identity. A support for a form changes
that form. The doily is pushed several inches from the wall so that
it etches a ditto of itself in shadow on the wall. Is the fiberglass
“the real” or simply a tool to create “the real
shadow. Nothing is as simple as it appears on the surface. Nothing
stands alone. Identity is not clear. Which expression is the truth
of this thing. What is it really? Simple is never simple.
