“It depends on what meaning we ascribe to Modernism. I would say the base concept behind Modernism is still perspective, which is why I used the Classical Greek form of the body as a departure point in “Cyborg” and “Anagrams,” because that kind of humanism contains perspective. But my current sculptures don’t have any perspective. Even if it looks like they do, there are mirrors and other reflective surfaces that distort everything into a twist on traditional perspective.”
