Untitled Perched Objects populates one’s journey along the forest path with a series of events. The assortment is familiar yet unexpected - a balancing umbrella; a telescope arrested mid-fall; a canted stool with a mug peering over its seat; a bird house perched on its own perch with dangling binoculars, and a disposable cup with its lid and straw weighted by its contents. They invite the viewer to consider all the objects that surround us, those overlooked and those that may hold our focus. Each is a part of the everyday and yet extraordinary, recognizable and yet
inexplicable.
