They Saw, wood, nails, screws, wood glue, 48 ¼ in x 69 in x 2 ½ to 12 1/3 in, 2018 (+ details)
They Saw is a sculpture based on my painting, The Plan. I used the shapes of color from my painting to create shapes, while also using the color of emotional tension in relation to height, the higher the shape, the stronger emotion of pain. Although They Saw is based on The Plan, the shapes are mirrored, expressing that through the hardship of emotional damage as a child, I had taken the house and smashed the roof into the ground, causing the shapes to be mirrored. To help express the relationship to the house, I used wood to symbolize as flooring, keeping the flat sides facing up. While underneath side of the shapes are uniquely ridged, expressing the emotions I tried to hide from others.
