Passion
Flower Vine I,
2005, from the Pollen-nation series
10-½" x 10-½" x 11-¾" |
 |
| I
began by taking air and pollen sample from my back
yard in San Francisco to a lab on the UC Berkeley
campus. A kind palio-biologist helped me to photograph
the pollen grains. From the photographs I carved
the individual pollens I found, out of honeycomb
ceramics. Honeycomb ceramics are manufactured to
produce a catalyst environment for molecular change;
in essence they are filters. Lovegrass, was the
first pollen finished in 1998. |
