POTENTIAL

For some artists, potential manifests as plans for future works. While some ideas are never fulfilled, one can anticipate an artist’s possible approach as work evolves from a plan on a flat plane into a fully realized three-dimensional object. The artistic process, moving between conception and manifestation, is not linear. Similarly, viewers’ navigation through this gallery is not prescribed.
