The cow thing reminded me of the random angels around Los Angeles.

LA is the city of angels, so at least that make sense.

I'm going to go find pictures of the Snoopy's around MN.

Mmkay...excuse the random people in the photographs. I don't know who they are, but they showed up on Google.
Charles Shultz is from Minnesota, so there are Snoopy statue all over the place.

Non-déjà-vu


Many of my pieces are born in the gap between what we see and what we think we see, even if this apprehension only lasts for a short moment. What interests me is to try to register this, to measure the fickleness of situations. A kind of intraordinary yardstick, all so human.
What I have in mind for 'Statements' is a portrait of a situation.A situation formed by figures, objects and time as its collaborators. A story where lines of perspective and interpretation intersect. A space of allusions in two and three dimensions. The scale is not exactly 1:1 but slightly out of proportion to give presence or deliberate distance. All very familiar yet of a specific weight. In the periphery of the visual fields, before your mind knows what it saw - an explicit notion. Reality is only the top of the iceberg.

Oh my goodness! Where is that Transformer statue! I have to see that one in person! And as for the Snoopys, I hate that concept! We used to have cows (or pigs...or some other barnyard thing) in Iowa. They were kind of funny to begin with, but the novelty quickly wore off.
