CASEY McDONOUGH
Weaving intersections between art, nature, and science, Casey McDonough mines the contradictions present in our human experience with the natural world by investigating the transformative and transcendent potential of material. McDonough’s site-specific installation of delicate clay girders expands structurally when intertwined into a larger constellation of bright, luminous, and reflective material forms. Amplified and echoed through shadow and repetition, celestial contours and biomorphic patterns spotlight macro and micro perspectives; smaller gestures invite close observation while broader connections reveal a volumetric presence and intricate dialogue between spatial and material exploration.
