My work addresses the often-troubled relationship between nature within our bodies and our communities and nature that surrounds us. It is my hope that I may contribute to the urgent and overwhelming need to redefine our relationship to the environment so we may live more gracefully in balance with our resources. Essential to the task of saving ourselves is acknowledging our imagination as part of our resources and part of our nature. My sculptures are premised on the perception that nature is the imagination; that nature is our selves; and that nature is our surroundings however urban, deserted, bucolic, or wild they may be.

I make casts from my own body in positions of contemplation and reverie. The poses capture everyday moments – walking, sitting, driving, in the shower and sleeping – when I am enveloped in thought and absorbed in my imagination. The surfaces of the figures (see Sleeping, 2009) are activated with multiple flowers embedded in the body and formed to contour the gesture. Each flower represents my thoughts as alive as they press and impress a relationship to the world. The sensual color and decadence of the surfaces emphasize a circumference of the body that is greater than its dimensions while extending the aura of the piece toward the viewer. It is important to me that the viewer becomes a player in the piece and that he/she sees their own body in direct relationship with the cast figures and ultimately with the space surrounding both art and audience.
- Tony Fair

I hope the work conveys both a vulnerable nature and an aggressive one. My need to make them is rooted in an adolescent desire to explore. As I grow older this need includes the responsibility to be more aware of my place in a collective conscious. I aspire to integrate the body, the sensual imagination, and nature into a discussion of the relative place of our selves in culture and in the environment at large.

Restless Bats by Troika

Posted: July 19th, 2010 | Author: Yanda | Filed under: Art, Product | No Comments »

The Restless Bats are a collection of 5 ping pong bat sets designed in reference to Ron’s seminal design works. Inspired by his early 80’s ready made, the ROVER BATS explore the ping pong potential of original Rover P6 V8 3500 car parts, using opposing ashtrays, a seat lever, a gearstick and seat side panels. Referring to Ron’s distinctive use of light and Corian, the PING PONG bats have integrated Leds which spell out PING and PONG in mid-air (yes, it is direction sensitive: PING one way, PONG the other). We also pressed and shaped books into paddles, choosing Nabokov’s LOLITA (one of Ron’s favourites after which he named his eponymous chandelier) and Dostoevsky’s THE IDIOT for which he created a limited edition for Penguin Books. Completing his huge bookshelf which depicts the map of the USA, we created the lost states of Hawaii and Alaska as a set of paddles rendered in rusted steel and mirror stainless. And finally, in an homage to our favourite piece, Arad’s concrete stereo, we casted our final set in cement, and created the CONCRETE BATS.
