Description
About the Artwork:
This tributary of works was born from a practice of hiking with a sculpture, wedging it somewhere or posing with it, and documenting for later recreation in the studio. This is from a hike to Escondido Falls in Malibu. Flowing water like this tends to remind me of the presocratic Heraclitus quote: “one cannot step in the same river twice” — because the individual is always changing, and so is the river, and so is the polyhedron, when freshly sculpted.
About the Artist:
Marina Claire constantly manipulates the physical: metal, paint, ink, and bodies. While their hands bend, heat, and brush, their mind hovers in geometries. Plato’s inquiries into the timeless perfection of imagined geometric shapes, and into how geometries might lie behind all nature, inspire them to make objects that (though necessarily imperfect because they will never have perfect straight edges, and must eventually erode) tease our minds toward the perfect. The objects they make ask viewers to drift within that gap between the non-physical, conceptual realm and our tangible, sensory experience.
