The following statement supports the investigations that culminated in the body
of sculptural work entitled “Daoist Garden”. It is an examination of the most basic
sculptural issues of form and space, and reverses the roles of prototype and
mold to give visual accounting of spaces created by curved planes. These spatial
records allude to cycles of disintegration and reconfiguration of matter on various
timelines and scales. The philosophical influence behind the work employs the
concepts of yin and yang, which relate directly to the mold/positive relationship,
and are essential to experiencing Dao, the eternally nameless underlying order of
the universe. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.F.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014.. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
