New work by Sculpture and Extended Media student, John Bliss

John Bliss’ recent work is directed towards object’s materiality and
how these objects may represent the human body in circumstance. Just as you or I
may find ones self in physical or emotional situations my work also encounters such
endeavors through friendly acquaintances, sexual ambivalence, and inevitable
mortality. I employ the use of items manufactured and found as both hold specific
meaning, which amplifies the moment in time in which the work exists. Giving
purpose to items by means of juxtaposition while using the personas of the objects
can allow for the work to be viewed as past memories, present actions, or future
encounters.

Body Conscious
