Del Harrow: Fluid Geometry, Material Topology, Shades of Grey June 29, 2010

Inspired by modern furniture and interior design, polygons, and geometry, Del Harrow's installation consists of seven sculptures divided into two groups by a screen/partition made from hand pressed ceramic tiles and grey plastic. Beginning with digital models, Harrow employs computer software as a tool for generating abstract form. Like a mathematical model or an Eames interior, the installation is a diagrammatic construction -- built within the architectural interior of the gallery. The sculptures represent a range of scales -- of objects or furniture or architectural fragments -- creating a composite space, shifting between the miniature, the architectural interior, and the landscape. The sculptures are built using a combination of "digital fabrication" and overtly manual and craft based fabrication techniques -- from clay, porcelain, wood, nylon, lexan, fiberglass, revealing imprints, textures, details, and artifacts from both digital and manual processes.
