Jean-Philippe Dordolo
In his first outside sculpture, Dordolo retains many of the features of his gallery works, where the physical attributes of his chosen media are allowed to emanate their rich material gestures. Reflecting his interest in process, here the artist gives permission for the resin to interact with the elements outside, allowing it to be potentially captured in another state of change, and draws humorous comparison of scale and medium between the artificial frame-trees and the natural growth of the location.
