The Gathering of the Elements

The work employs a rich and tactile combination of materials, building the composition with layers of pigmented wax encaustic and acrylic paints. A defining feature of the work is the integration of copper, which has been deliberately patinated to create its characteristic verdigris hues, and potentially bronze treated similarly.

 My practice, therefore, stands as a significant contribution to a post-minimalist tradition where process is philosophy made visible. It demonstrates that:

  • Material is Thought. The copper is not just a surface; it is a participant in a philosophical inquiry into being and change.

  • Process is a Form of Thinking. The act of “letting-be” is an active, rigorous, and critical artistic methodology.

  • The Artwork is an Event. The finished piece is a record of a convergence—a “gathering”—of material forces, guided by a philosophical commitment to openness. It is a visual articulation of both Heidegger’s “letting things be” and Lucretius’s “swerve,” offering a powerful model for an art that explores the very nature of emergence and existence
