Item Description
Steel-belted Grid, 2020, Tire fragments and acrylic, 24 " x 23 " x 2 " / fragments de pneus et acrylique, 24 po x 23 po x 2 po
Scratching beneath the surface of discarded tires reveals the shiny steel-belted linings also revealing incompatible paradigms. With the raw material carrying such meaning, I keep the motif simple. The grid sculpture make reference to systems; perhaps political, perhaps economic, where those systems are either held accountable or at least questioned.
Sous la surface des pneus usés se révèle l’éclat de la ceinture d’acier, et par la même occasion, deux paradigmes incompatibles. Le matériel brut étant déjà évocateur, je voulais que le motif soit simple. La sculpture en grille est une référence aux systèmes, politiques voire économiques, et là où ces systèmes sont incriminés ou à tout le moins critiqués.
