Disintegration

8'x24"x24", terracotta, 2015          

Particles are flying up and disappear. The thing as a whole is coming undone.  The power that had connected it, the energy that had tied it together, has broken. The particles still exist in a kind of emission and I do not know if they ever disappear completely. I can see only what I can see, and a little more I can imagine. 

As a practical application I use this idea in my chimney design.
