A hollow cast tree is held upright by magnetic force and an internal steel rod, surrounded by bronze forms and casting shells.

The work extends from earlier explorations of the slingshot and magnetic bullets, metaphors that inherit a motion and causality. Arranging these objects, I attempt to stage a suspended situation that's difficult to pinpoint on a linear timeline that demands progress, not to confuse the viewer, but to make uncertainty a shared condition. The moment appears self-contained yet constantly risks collapse, mirroring time as both structure and a threatening form of control.

By projecting the past, present and future self on to these objects to each of their own indications of time, to contemplate the continuity of self that takes form in unstable clusters, diffractive surfaces and decelerated recognitions.
