Constituent Parts investigates the foundational mechanics of art-making: what components build a sculpture, how they assemble, and what hidden forces drive its execution. Drawing philosophical framing from Hannah Arendt’s Between Past and Future, the series approaches creation as an ongoing process shaped by a confluence of variables—cultural norms, historical context, individual psychology, and material properties.
Visually evoking lined books on a shelf or stacked volumes, the 4 wall-mounted sculptures translate intellectual architecture into physical form. Tightly compressed block arrangements, rendered in high-gloss monochrome and vibrant polychromatic fields, subvert the traditional boundary between literary repository and sculptural object. By treating geometric forms like spines in a library, Constituent Parts questions whether an artist's internal influences can ever be fully decoded or if they remain, like life itself, an intricate puzzle of interconnected fragments.
