But isn’t that what some would say represents 21st century sculpture: waste? Assemblage and unmonumentality. The usage of cheap materials, making something from almost nothing . Therefore, this personal lapidarium - remnants of objects that one would consider they did not manage to coagulate a meaning - has become the focus. Because it is more about the process (of transforming, hence creating), then about a finality, whatever that may be, if there is one, since every end is a new beginning...
‘Physiognomic fallacy’ was a term used by E. H. Gombrich, which
explored the assumption that artistic forms are direct reflections on the nature
of the society that created them. In this culture of accumulation, the studio,
the home, and even the public space become a warehouse. We might as well end up
turning earth into one.
