Vanishing Point and Tank Shrapnel are individual works but when shown together create a dialogue between the concurrence of imploding and exploding energy, order and chaos, the everyday and the infinite. Vanishing Point references the infinite through suggestions of cosmological phenomenon and typical depictions of the Holy Spirit; Tank Shrapnel freezes the moment of an explosion when an object is transformed into something incomprehensible. By hand-stitching these patterns and placing them in the familiar site of the bed, I attempt to internalize these ideas into something understandable, knowable.
