Prayer , 5'x9'x6', wood and spray paints, 2003

Continuing the concept of a praying figure that I first developed while working on Ascension, I wanted to explore the relationship between space and sculpture. One space is the surrounding that gets redefined once a sculpture is placed there. But I alos wanted to look inside a sculpture and the way the architecture defines volume. By executing this work, I not only got to experiment with the interior and exterior spaces, but also the interaction between the two. What happens when you are able to peer across and see both a figure and the space beyond it.
