David Mazure

The David Mazure collection was one I hadn't seen before and one that really intrigued me. I thought his work was really original. Although I am upset that I didn't get to hear him talk, after doing research on him and his work I can see how my thought process is not far off from his. In his artist statement he says "I am interested in what lies beyond human knowledge and the limitations of the human mind to acquire knowledge." I am also constantly pondering this statement and find a lot of my recent inspirations to be about things that can't really be explained by human knowledge. I think that mixing science, art, design and western philosophy is what really makes his work is unique. His piece titled Transmeanderation was such an intricate and large piece that I learned continues onto different sections to accommodate certain site-specificity. I wish it wasn't ever cut up though, I wish it was completely laid out the way he intended it to. Aesthetically, I did love the piece. I loved the simple black on white with the extremely complex and intertwining use of line. The complexity of the drawing really exaggerates what he was trying to get across which was an anticipated memory of the viewer. I think that his work is really fascinating and thought provoking along with the rest of the Innovations shows. It was one of my favorite gallery collections ever.
