Album cover constructions ranging from two near halves abutting each other, to
the creation of duct-like structures with the covers emerging in progression out
of one another makes up this exhibition. Inspired from fiddling with his parent’s
record collection as a child, the artist would often sit listening to records while
gently squeezing two opposing edges towards each other to create a sort of an
eye shape. Many years later this technique is rediscovered and employed to
create sculptures both reminiscent of Modernism and in defiance of it.
