The Holding

January 5, 2026

20” x 11” x 8”, epoxy resin, mixed media, quartz.

This sculpture is similar to Interbeing but smaller scale, feminine form, and psychologically quieter.

It is a point of suspension where faces repeat without alignment, held close within a compressed form that resists outward declaration. Hands hover and support rather than reveal, suggesting a pause where orientation is felt but not enacted.

Rather than marking an arrival, the work occupies an interior crossing: a condition of containment in which multiple directions remain possible. What is held here is not resolved.

This was the final artwork I completed in 2025, just before we crossed into the new year.
