Australian Red Mallee Burl and stainless steel.
4 lbs. 7" x 6" x 3"
In Entanglement, two small eucalyptus burls are concurrently separated and bound by a pair of metallic spheres. Much like waves on open water, the eruptive protrusions of the eucalyptus burls register a snapshot of quantum field energy vibrations —localized fluctuations where internal stresses have accumulated over time. These protrusions are not decorative irregularities but records of growth, pressure, and constraint, shaped by unseen forces acting beyond the visible surface.
The spheres function simultaneously as both structure and symbol—supporting the sculpture materially while serving as a metaphor for entangled subatomic bodies whose states remain linked even as space intervenes. Each sphere derives meaning through its relationship to the other. The system they create cannot be understood by examining a single element in isolation, rather, stability emerges only from mutual dependence.
The sculpture ultimately occupies a charged middle ground between connection and separation. In this temporarily suspended state, Entanglement proposes that connection need not be continuous to be meaningful, and that support—whether physical or conceptual— can often reside in the smallest, most concentrated points of interaction.
