Intersentient States

Across vessels, sculpted heads, and tableaux, the work moves between recognition and abstraction, between the archaic and the contemporary. It unfolds through a balance of exploration and refinement; a search through material form for perceptual presence.

Intersentient States are moments in which awareness appears to arise within the encounter between observer and form, rather than being located wholly in either. These conditions emerge within the Attentional Interval — a moment of pause in which perception circulates between observer and form.

Beneath this enquiry lies what may be described as a Sisyphean Horizon: a continual approach toward resolution in which each refinement reveals further possibilities.

When a work is relinquished, what remains is a collected residue of sensations: an approximation rather than a conclusion, yet an enigma persists.
