Guest Artist Jonathan Waterbury

My work is creation according to and from observation and imagination.

Like each of “us,” each work of art is representative of a complex identity, formed as it is conceived and brought forth. As the work is certified by the comprehension of the adjacent (any viewer), its identity comprises any reference necessary to exist: idea, image or memory. In three dimensions, this phenomenon may be particularly acute.

Derived Volume:

Sculpture based on two dimensional shapes variously discovered, produced and considered.

Specific Volume:

Each sculpture in this body of work inhabits and describes a specific volume, like we do. By name rooted in specificity, at rest sharing conditions and properties familiar to “us”
and
seen demonstrating this volume as figure
and
through this figure is a mass imagined
with some intent, like “us,” [e]motive moving,
thus formed/shaped
and,
appearing thus, unrooted -able to move/change-

Thus, in the title:

“33.7 Unit Cubic Volume (Stone Moment: Awkward as a result of its carriage)” , “33.7 Unit Cubic Volume” is partial shape information in elemental geometric terms,
and:
“(Stone Moment: Awkward as a result of its carriage)”
is an example model description with reference language, in this case referring to a “Moment of Inertia,” the numerical description of a particular body’s resting state, derived from its properties of mass and volume and the forces acting upon it.
