Alonzo Davis' bamboo "power poles" are painted woven, wound, tied, patched, stuck, pasted, and drilled. They stand, they hang, they dance, they shift and realign themselves as elements shift around them. Whether small and intimate enough to hold in the hand or monumentally large, they have a life of their own, yet even they obey the power of Earth's centers.
