EAF06: 2006 Emerging Artist Fellowship Exhibition

Differentiation and Correlation of Revelation, 2006
Metallic FGR
5 x 5 x 5'

A study in the historical, cultural and religious roles that iconic rocks play in a myriad of places around the world, this is a cast from an actual bolder that has been chromed using a process more commonly associated with cheap plastic toys and gaudy ornament. Assembled in parts, this geological monument is clearly a fabricated simulation yet has achieved an elusive symbolism - equally man-made, meteor and earthly.
