CompLEXity / Klecks (splotch, blot, blotch, blob, daub…)
I like to experiment with the naturally flawed constructions that have rooted in human consciousness and continue to structure and affect our present ideas of reality. Underlying my work is a matrix of scientific and spiritual conceptualizations of the universe.
Sandra Cohen
Cosmology and how we relate to it are constant themes in my work. When I talk about cosmology I don’t mean merely making models of scientific phenomena, but trying to figure out for my self what the complex interactions in the universe look like in the 3-dimensional world of sculpture. I like to let the materials have a certain amount of autonomy in my work in order to see what they want, and therefore, how they are made.
Jesse Kaminsky
The universe is simultaniously highly organized and chaotic. The difference between order and disorder is a human concept like beauty or tragedy. We find room for interpretation. I search for order in disorder and disorder in order. The emergence of one from the other fascinates me. I juxtapose seemingly random and unrefined improvisation with a feeling of reality, a sense of cause and effect and precision to convey the tension between order and disorder.
