dc.description.abstract | Using the square and the cube as foundational elements that are rooted in art historical, architectural, and philosophical tradition, the (w)hole part. installation explores mark making on a variety of materials and surfaces to create a non-linear, allegorical narrative that investigates cyclic transformation through an entire space. It serves to illustrate ongoing exchanges that occur between chaos and order, construction and destruction, clarity and obscurity, simplicity and complexity. The arrangement of the space, shapes, and forms creates layers that suggest complexity of meaning, and paradoxes that raise questions about notions of illusion and reality. The layering of materials, marks, and text connects to a larger human tradition of recording information, conveying different senses of meaning, time, and density. The juxtaposing of materials are visual cues that add to the layers and indicate intricate relationships that exist between the objects, surfaces and ideas. The use of found or recycled materials signifies the process of transforming objects and their meaning. | en_US |
