High Pressure System
6” x 6” x 2”
On display and available for purchase at Center for Maine Craft, Gardiner, ME or Contact Us to purchase.
High Pressure System centers a salvaged barometer mechanism beneath a backdrop of cumulus clouds and archival print. Framed in sky-toned hues and bordered by vintage newspaper clippings, it invites reflection on control, containment, and the quiet force of atmospheric systems. The imagery evokes both meteorological science and emotional weather—those internal conditions that shift subtly yet powerfully.

With a vintage barometer mechanism as its heart, High Pressure System plays with themes of atmosphere, pressure, and balance. Framed by calm sky imagery and aged newspaper clippings, the piece suggests an emotional forecast: composed on the surface, coiled beneath. A meditation on the invisible systems that surround and shape us—natural, mechanical, and psychological.
