Description:
The Word Search Series investigates concepts of contradiction and loss of meaning through the use of a single sculpture made from many individual sculptures. Each viewer is invited to excavate the hidden poem(s).

The piece initially presents itself as a random collage of language, form, and texture, using white plaster as a sculptural canvas for light. Upon further exploration, the whimsical work unfolds as a methodically placed series of dark observational poems hidden within the array. The artwork exists as a machine for the contradiction between the medium and message.
