Description
The latest installment in the New Work series debuts Los Angeles-based Paul Sietsema's most recent body of work, which includes sculptures, drawings, and a 16mm film. A conceptually driven artist, Sietsema uses a broad range of technical processes, meticulously constructing objects by hand from preexisting photographs, then documenting the objects on film. Allowing his subjects to migrate from a two-dimensional source to a three-dimensional object and finally to a time-based medium, he investigates how different forms of representation affect our understanding of a given subject. The disparate works in the exhibition shape an evocative, layered environment that fluctuates between time periods and geographic locations; in his current project, Sietsema examines prehistoric cultures in Africa, South Asia, and Oceania and, in the process, considers how Western perspectives have altered the perception of these varied identities.
