Glass and wood were selected to generate a dynamic dance of light and shadow. The glass field with etched names unites all the of those remembered alongside Armenian translations and alphabet. The etched historical symbols and the glass transparency allows us to look into the past while reflecting on the future. Mt. Ararat's situate graphed into the wood panel sets the depth of spiritual landscape.

below: Assemblage Art Series - Words Are Our Tools: all sold
These Assemblage sculptures integrates an Earth-shattering book (e.g. The Dialogues of Plato) with one hand held tool. Specific pages of the book are removed and wrapped over the tool, the remaining book, and the rotating field.
The book is an instrument to be held close to the body by the hands. A book takes time to read and offers its own internal time. The handheld tool is an artifact held by the hand and enables human beings to transform their environment by physically extending the body. By comparison, a painting is usually viewed from a distance, and in a moment; it is absorbed by the viewer at one time.
Each rotating-paused assemblage in this exhibition challenges our adaptation of this unconscious convention. Words are the tools we us to construct our world, our reality; and our tools extend us into the cosmos.
Spin-in-place these mixed media assemblages offer a window of Words as-Tools to imagine new Realities; inspired by Tibetan prayer wheels
