David Provan: Splendorla
鈥婣rtist Statement
Through my sculpture I鈥檓 trying to make visible & tangible the flow of energy that makes up all entities and events. To this end, I build schematic structures that trace the way elements coalesce into a pattern or identity and then, after a period of time, disperse. They鈥檙e the motion of birth and death translated into material form.
Another approach I鈥檝e experimented with is a 鈥渃ollaboration of opposites,鈥� which manifests as a balancing of sculptural elements that resonate with the Taoists鈥� concept of Yin/Yang or with the Dialectics of Hegel. They define two conflicting elements (rational vs. random, mass vs. void, etc.) that eventually reconcile themselves into a dynamic whole.
