"CLIMBING FRENZY"  
 


CLIMBING FRENZY
1993

(Site-specific installation for the SF Arts Commission Gallery)

In "CLIMBING FRENZY", a tornado of tables furiously climb over each other. These tables, intent on their freedom, link their cherry-bowed legs into a ladder, eighteen feet of twisting and writhing acrobats. Arching towards the gallery's skylight in a helix-like pattern, the Queen Anne tables hover over the viewer. The scene is dream-like yet familiar, unleashing the hidden life of everyday objects and bringing together things from the daily world where the inner logic is that of the improbable appearing plausible; the merveilleax quotidien, an everyday miracle.

The work focuses on the internal psychology of everyday objects. It inspires a permeability of the conscious barriers between people and things, objects and intentions.
