Part of a series of wooden wall-sculptures that were born from a progressive dance between 2D and 3D processes. The imaginary logic of flatness is used to create 3-dimensions. The result is a series of work formed like puzzles - corresponding edges aligning to create a larger form. Metaphorically they are an attempt at piecing together the visual language that connects us all. Why do certain combinations of line, color and shape remind us of parts of our lives, the cosmos, the deep sea, Stonehenge - or a memory or feeling we had years ago? It’s the language of the enigmatic world that they are trying to solve.
About the Artist
Working across a range of media, J.C. Fontanive is interested in movement, cinema, and mechanics, both literally and metaphorically as an attempt to try to understand the designing force of nature and evolution through time.
