Artist: Nicholas Wood
Year: 2023
Media/Materials: Wood, paints
Size: 24 × 12 × 7 inches
With a background as a painter prior to my involvement in sculptural media, my work frequently manifests itself in hybrid forms with its relationship to painting/drawing and sculpture. I have always been intrigued by the dimensional, spatially interactive and material nature of sculptural form, yet also drawn to the frontal, pictorial quality which painting's surfaces frequently yield.
These 3D works reflect my interests in forms which employ modulation, repetition, progression, memory, erasure, and reference. They use the wall as support to project their dimension, their 'vertical frontality', as well as the consequent shadows, integral to complete them.
While the initial choices of imagery are conceptually established, all the works are open enough to pose a variety of interpretations. This variety presents multiple layers and possible readings and for me, floats in a state that like abstraction itself, esteems ambiguity and discovery.
