This hanging sculpture was made for a show in a gallery in a senior center. The hanging circle of 50 keys are keys given to me by a friend, and are from her mother's house, which her mother as an older person had had to give up. The 10 wooden 2 x 4's have a neutral content, as raw material, which can also be read as potential, while the red discs hanging from each 2 x 4 can be seen as an igniting energy in the direction of movement and change, while at the same time seeming to remain outside our normal sphere of vision recognition.

The keys are interior, surrounded by the hanging wood, and to discover them one must visually and psychologically enter this, at first, less obvious visual space. The literal passage the viewer makes from the hanging frame of wood to the center of keys is primary to the work, as an enacting of the sculpture - or it could be said that the quality of the visual perception in it's sculptural aspect, becomes an alternative sculpture.
