Cycles 1998. Acrylic, wood, water, dirt. 15” x 10” x 10”

A plastic vessel is filled partly with a brownish material with the likeness of feces. It is submerged in water. When the material is stirred up with a rod, it clouds or muddies the water. Once agitated, the material slowly settles to the bottom. This piece is about making "shit happen", stirring up the viewer mentally and / or physically. The title is controversial to anyone with a strong sense of religious leanings. It represents the phases in life of calm and turmoil, the environment in a person's mind, and the one in which one lives.
