ev·a·nes·cent
/ˌevəˈnes(ə)nt/ adjective literary adjective: evanescent
The word evanescent refers to that which may soon pass from sight, fade from memory or disappear from existence. In this sense, the use of architectonic fragments of abstracted imagery may be read as metaphors for current relationships to evanescent cultural moments and histories. The collective process of sorting through what is becoming lost, what remains and where we may find direction for a positive future is an underlying challenge. I have tried to use the power of abstraction to facilitate individual interpretation and meaning. M.B.
