Horizontals

The Invariant

1999 – Present

An investigation of the figure reoriented to the horizontal plane.

Horizontals examines how the body’s structural relationships transform when verticality is eliminated. Gravity no longer supports the figure through skeletal alignment but distributes weight across minimal contact points—a single hip, an extended arm, the curved spine. The body becomes continuous flowing form, yet its essential architecture remains invariant.

This reorientation reveals structural qualities obscured by vertical stance. The figure extends as sculptural continuum across space, creating rhythms between tension and release, between organic flow and architectural rigidity, between support and suspension. This configuration yields forms of particular aesthetic resonance, where the body’s structural logic becomes inseparable from its visual impact.

Together with Triangles, this series establishes fundamental geometric categories—angular and continuous—that Continuum subsequently synthesizes into unified wholes.
