Conglomerates (Progressions)

The current Conglomerate series, Progressions, are composed of cement slabs and plexiglass. The term relates to musical chord progressions produced over time to stir harmonies. Made in relation to shifting sunlight and shadows, they are constructed and reconstructed outside over the course of several days and/or hours. Shadow lines are observed and recorded on and from materials to mark shadow movements and extend the drawing activity. Different stages are photographed to record unexpected alignments.
