Diagenesis is the process of geological changes that take place when one form of sedimentary rock is changed into another over time at lower temperature and pressure. When you break it down to the root, it means "two origins." The term really resonates with where I currently am in my process with these projects. New elements are still finding their way in, but it's a vein I've been working in long enough now that the processes are starting to condense down into something more solid. I have done my wild explorations and have a familiarity with the materials that allows for more considered compositions—injecting some order into the chaos.
Below are two in progress pieces. The hanging piece is much closer to completion, though I'm still working on building up the outer shell of the form. The standing piece is what I've done revisiting that wire structure I made early on in our blog, building up around the armature but it's still in the relatively early stages of construction.
The smaller pieces below are finished explorations. The first playing with both the 3d and 2d surfaces and bringing some drawing elements back into the work. The second, limited color into the work while trying to maintain the delicacy and transparency of the base materials in order to let the colored lights really play across the surface.
