Factory bell, nautical pennant flag. wood & rope
54 H x 20 W x 8 D inches
2026
Original work. Signed and dated. Ships directly from the studio.
Description:
Bell Weather was inspired by the systems we create to warn ourselves of approaching danger. A salvaged factory bell, weathered signal cloth, rope, and wood are assembled into an object that suggests a warning device whose original instructions have been lost.
I’m interested in the moment when a signal remains visible but its meaning becomes uncertain. The bell can still sound and the red fabric still suggests urgency, yet neither provides clear direction. Suspended between alarm, artifact, and improvised communication, the sculpture considers what happens when the mechanisms intended to warn us survive longer than our ability to understand or respond to them.
