...A LOVE STORY...

"A Love Story" is an interactive, mixed media, diorama sculpture.

This altar was designed as both an icon for romantic love
as well as a practical guide to help navigate some of the hidden pitfalls.

By looking at the dominant narratives within the learning curve of dualistic love 
the intent of this piece was to find a way to demonstrate and appreciate the hidden blessings
of each comedic and tragic chapter of every unique and yet allegorical love story.

Through five, simple, almost ceremonial rituals each panel represents a different,
sometimes hard won, milestone of coupling.

Though laid out like a storybook from left to right
this work is a non-linear reminder that love is an organic evolutionary process
of ever changing paradoxical re-commitments on a journey of constantly letting go.
 
To remove oneself from the attachment to a perceived preferential storyline 
often involves seeing our love stories from some bigger panoramic, overarching perspective . . .
this piece is one such invitation..

"A Love Story" is Part 2 in an ongoing series looking at what can likely best be described as
a compendium of Love.

Part 1 : "A Life Story"  ( Self Love )

Part 2 : "A Love Story"  ( Couple-hood )

 

​

This work is designed to be an evolving Altar space influenced by the interplay of two.

​

The visual and physical narratives of the piece are solely focused on the bond between two individuals, intended to deepen their partnership, even if it is in dissolution or back through

what are the natural stages/ cycles of regeneration.
