Christian Maychack "Host"
Jeff Bailey Gallery
This event has ended.
Maychack’s new body of work utilizes the bio-linear structure of tree branches as forms to build upon. By following the branches’ structure and shape, he applies and builds new visual systems onto them. For Maychack, the desire to use the branches arises from human beings natural compulsion to continually and arbitrarily reorganize their surroundings.
In a sense, this is Maychack’s preceding body of work flipped on its head. Usually, earlier works were anthropomorphic forms escaping from, or acting as parasites on existing structural and architectural hosts. His new sculptures employ a natural form as armature for the man-made, eschewing the illusionistic in favor of a process that is open and revealing.
