deisal c. i,ii, 2024
Rotary motor, steel, glass, polyurethane, iron, water
10 x 80 x 12 in each
25.4 x 203.2 x 30.5 cm each
Deisal c. i,ii features two distinct compositions consisting of rotary motors, steel, glass, polyurethane, and iron. Instead of functioning as whirling engines emblematic of the 20th century’s increased mechanization, they rest atop still pools of water (*now glass), which gestures toward the role of calcium carbonate in aquaculture—a supplement in freshwater bodies that creates ideal living conditions. The sculpture becomes a hosting hub to cultivate organic energy, rather than an industrial converter of fuel to motion. via Laurel V.

Cation c. (vii), 2024
Electroplated steel, silver, brass, neodymium
8.5 12.5 x 2 in
21.6 x 31.8 x 5.1 cm
Drawing on techniques from metalsmithing and jewelry, including electroplating, bronze and silver casting, and the use of cuttlebone molds, Mooney foregrounds the physical processes that produce each object, often preserving casting residues, surface imprints, oxidation, and structural traces rather than concealing them. Steel, bronze, silver, glass, water, polymers, and mineral compounds are brought into configurations that respond to temperature, gravity, light, magnetism, and chemical change, allowing material behavior to remain active, positioning sculpture as an evolving field of interactions between objects, bodies, and the environments they inhabit.
