I Full
I Full depicts the self as a mosaic — not despite its fragments, but because of them.
The sculpture is a giant eye on slender legs, and its title works in two directions at once. It's a statement about seeing and feeling ('I feel'), and it's also literal: the eye is full — of lives, stories, and remnants of past work.
This is built into the piece's very making. Committed to minimizing waste, I collected the discarded remnants of my work for nearly three years — the cutoffs, the bad fits, the designed-out pieces. When the scrap boxes were full, the accumulation became a work of its own. I assembled them like a mosaic, and this collection of my artistic past became the art.
Every fragment is essential. Bright pieces and broken ones alike. That's the point.
