Ian Pedigo - Works 2007-2010
This is a fascinating look at the unique body of work produced by contemporary Alaskan artist Ian Pedigo. Ian Pedigo's work is located between found-object assemblage and three-dimensional collage. Removing materials from their original context and incorporating their associative qualities in new forms, he creates objects already in a state of temporal change. Fibre board, magazine clippings, concrete, fabric, and plastic cups are arranged and integrated so as to coax out poetic visual subtleties. These new structures and formal tableaux are imbued with formal and conceptual concerns proper to both painting and sculpture.
