Layered exposures of a downtown contemporary structure, designed by Morphosis, recombine into a faceted, kaleidoscopic sculptural mass. The surfaces here -- at once gleaming and oxidized, with rusty, infrared reversals and delicate, pastel patterning -- coalesce in cubist deconstruction. Manhattan.
Architectural surfaces of this entry in the Phosis series appear to melt under a hyper-saturated sun. Revealed within is a skeletal conglomeration of shimmering form. A gritty, glowing "effacement" that prioritizes visionary impact and presence over more traditional photorealism. Though based upon photographic imaging, I find this series' development process a personally fulfilling mediation between painterly gesture, rigorous alignments and the happy accidents of thick printmaking inking.
