| Artist's Statement: The holes, lines and surfaces of "Missing/Joggle" mimic the symmetry of flight machines. A joggle is a technique used by metal crafters to enable overlapping pieces of metal to lie flush. A joggle may be seen on the edge of the long, central acute angle, leading attention to a "missing" structure. The airframe technician's penned station measurements remain visible (a "station" is a measure of distance from the center of gravity, or from the longitudinal axis, of the aircraft). Greens and yellows of anti-corrosion pigments echo the greens and yellows of Earth left behind. "Missing/Joggle" abstracts physical structures required to exploit and control the basic principle of Bernoulli, and the consequence of violating that principle.
