Three Bricks

Ceramic, maple. 2022.

Bricks are like anchors, plunged into sediment, holding fast in sandy clay. Or like bricks. Bricks which are dug out of earth, burned in great fires and lifted to create the opposite of a mine. Somewhere there exists a hole in the earth the size of every brick ever made. Here are Three Bricks, foisted on columns like trophies of culture. A piece of fruit. A grasping gesture. A vessel filled with light, and air.
