Here's a work I really admire. It's by Askia Nasir Bilal
The artistic statement:
Using the square and the cube as foundational elements that are rooted in arthistorical, architectural, and philosophical tradition, the (w)hole part. installationexplores mark making on a variety of materials and surfaces to create a non‐linear,allegorical narrative that investigates cyclic transformation through an entire space.It serves to illustrate ongoing exchanges that occur between chaos and order,construction and destruction, clarity and obscurity, simplicity and complexity. Thearrangement of the space, shapes, and forms creates layers that suggest complexityof meaning, and paradoxes that raise questions about notions of illusion and reality.The layering of materials, marks, and text connects to a larger human tradition ofrecording information, conveying different senses of meaning, time, and density. Thejuxtaposing of materials are visual cues that add to the layers and indicate intricaterelationships that exist between the objects, surfaces and ideas. The use of found orrecycled materials signifies alchemy-- the process of transforming objects and their meaning
