Conflict begins with the inferring of intent.

In the communication of select information, conflict is a generative process, conflict is a form of corporate creative process.

A grapeshot is an early form of shrapnel and when used at short range, creates maximum impact at minimal distance. Here, modeled in ceramic they are made hollow and porous. Their unvitrified ceramic boundaries are easily permeated. Resin bases lined in gelled emollient serve as holding containers, suspending fossilized remnants of dispersed rings, anticipating continued

fallaway. Soft weapons as internalized machines of war.

Windows are faced with liquid vinyl and accommodate the grapeshots that push against them. The hazy filter communicates the select information of the day. Vinyl plasticizers filter a soft media light through the space and materialize the perception of the forces of conflict. The window is a shifting light box with a changing readability.

A scattershot rests on mangled gel and resin and is locked into the verticality of the steel conduit holding it in place.

A steel patinated ramp holds a stained and fired ceramic.

Conflicting materialities are a process of perception, and the process is the site of production.
