Five works on pedestals
These five works function as illustrations of potentially meaningful object-situations proposed in The Meaning Field.

Installation view with Nothing Special paintings at PPOW Gallery.

(where the vast dark landscapes of the universe yield a non-zero degree of significance, and where framed nothingness transforms into something), 2010
nothing
dimensionless

In the court of Cocalus, the logician/mathematician/philosopher looked up in perfect silence at the stars, knowing the light on the other side of the rapidly expanding universe is too slow to reach our eyes.
(where a density in one place in the field harmonizes with others and begins to cause distortions, waves, and tremors in other, distant places), 2010
threaded snail shell, radio playing static, graphite
12 x 12 x 1.5 inches

'Untitled' 'Still Life'
(where the redshifted nodal densities of the past are temporarily drawn into the present causing a flash distortion in the field), 2010
The Meaning Field books, hand-molded plastic
12 x 12 x 8.5 inches

The text only states the theory and does not embody it, thus becoming an aside to its own premise. Its structure fails at effectively effacing itself and is never truly assimilated. It becomes an object not a worldview.
(where patterns in significance mapping illustrate the duality of the object, being both merely a book and also a cipher for the truth of fears, the truth of desires, or the truth of intentions), 2010
pencil and ink on The Meaning Field books,
12 x 12 x 4 inches

Phase Transitions of Meaning, Examined in the Term 'Meaning'
(where the densities fold onto themselves, slowly gain density, and will eventually to collapse), 2007-2010
xeroxed book
8.5 x 11 x 2 inches
