A family of illuminated sculptures that play with dualities. Light / Shadow. Permanence / Ephemera. Gravity / Air. Priapus and vessel.
Sewn seam lines reveal and the wrought iron skeleton that forms Johnny’s armature emerges.
A discarded ball of scrumpled paper becomes an enduring, protective vessel of light.
“We started to call the forms “Johnny” as something of a joke – as they really did remind us of gigantic condoms. More and more the nickname informed the shapes. I loved how the works felt protective. External and Internal. Sensual. Bodily. Curiously phallic and yonic.
