SUSPENSIONS

In the Suspensions series I translated ultrasounds of the human heart into flat acrylic shapes. 

These translucent organic shapes, placed so that they slightly overlap one another, combine to

create compositions that conform to arcs and circles to suggest flowing movement.  Although the

Suspensions series began with the desire to make the interior of the human body visible, they are

also explorations of the way that light and shadow can cause the translucent material, of which

they are made, to suggest the immaterial.  When air currents stir the shapes which hang by thin

threads, they echo the movement and beating of the heart.
