Torso tube on pillar series is inspired by my fascination with the human form, in particular torso and legs and industrial tubing. Jean arp had said that the torso was the part of the body that held true nature, removing the head from a body takes away its reasoning and only leaves the heart. I find this interesting to overlay with the form of a tube. I believe my fascination with pipes/tubes/pillar ect comes from growing up in a working class family in industrial cleveland, ohio. The skyline there is riddled with smoke stacks and signs of industry. There was always something beautiful about this to me, especially when in the same skyline as trees. I still hold the same fascination with tubes today, they are the heart of our modern society, they provide us with some many different things, maybe most importantly our water and surround us at a macro and micro level.
