Inherit is an open and active glass book composed of thirteen ‘pages’, a hidden reference to the thirteen moons in the cycle of one year, tangled together, uncountable. Not every reader sees the sculpture as a book, but it does convey the concept of a narrative, or collection of stories, as well as the largess of a monument, just as ornate korans, bibles, torahs, materia medica, or ancient scrolls do. Each page was constructed by weaving hundreds of glass strands together, loose at the ends, woven at the fused binding. A strip of red moves across the pages, starting and ending in single strands. The red symbolizes the bodily experience of human history, war, release, birth, death, menstruation. It’s a story of a relationships, a person’s body, a moment in time, a year, all of human experience, cycles of personal and infinitesimal magnitude, a cacophonous narrative of voices woven together.
