Dreams of Winning

2023

Ceramic, Pendulum Clocks, Balloons, Metal, Cork, Monofilament,

Wood

This is a kinetic sculpture that gradually descends, over a period of 8 days, from its starting height onto the ground, by the use of two mechanical, pendulum escapement clocks. Spaced 10 feet apart and hung 10 feet high, the clocks are linked together at their drive chains by a rod, the ceramic bottles suspended therefrom becoming the driving weights of the clock movement.

An artist who places their work before the publics view; in fact anyone competing for a little adulation, dreams of winning. This is a piece subversively commemorating all of us with dreams in the clouds and reality on the ground. Each of the bottles represents a discarded dream, be it for health, intoxication, or the various trivialities of daily life.
