Untitled. Lecttuce, wood and paper. 70inch. diameter. The geometry of the sculpture replicates the rose window from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Piin Barcelona, Spain. Throughout history, the rose window has fallen three times. I see this as a metaphor for the fragility of imposing ideas on others. Emphasizing this fragility the stained glass is replaced with discarded lettuce from a market in my Chicago neighborhood. Also by bringing down the symbol to eye level when displayed I attempt to remove the power that it has when it’s held above oneself. Exhibited at Sullivan Galleries, Harold Washington Library.
