In this installation/performance,  "Inside Verbal Seed", the verb, the action. becomes a form, an inhabited form. The transient molding agent creates the form of language in which a "hu-man" forms new forms.   The form is the manifestation of language that inhibits and in"forms".  The seed is the verb and the catalyst for the action.


The sculptural elements of this piece suggest the movement of geometric form as a metaphor for perfection---the unending repetition, that is believed to encourage the contemplation of the infinite.


The “active” seed.

Actuality: The artist will be covered entirely with 200 kilos of earth buried in a wood mold based on a Arabic calligraphic symbol.  Equipped with a microphone and one of two cameras for live online video streaming.  Viewers will be able to see what’s happening for the period of the performance both inside and outside the form via the SPS website  After an elapsed time frame, the artist will emerge from underneath the soil.  More on what’s happens...... during the course of the exhibition....by tuning in regularly to SPS.
