Objects of Meditation
Installation
2014
Dimensions: variable
Materials: toothpicks, a stick, thread, a jar, a balloon, compact mirror, 108 safety pins, wood
Objects made from secular materials imply repetitive actions. Circular forms reference the potential for a finite thing, a human mind, to contemplate and experience the infinite.
The words "Already Perfect," drawn from Eastern theosophy, are only legible when toothpicks are lined up.
Understanding a seemingly contradictory idea through the labor of a meditative act.
Thread is wound from spool to stick and back, ad infinitum.
Minding the breath entering and exiting a container.
108 safety pins make up a mala - prayer beads.
