Listen to full episode :

Brian has come to notice that there exist certain predispositions that we share as human beings. These preferences run deeper than cultural values and social norms, operating at a subconscious level to shape some of the fundamental aspects of human experience. His current bodies of work reflect an ongoing exploration of some of these predilections. In this work he is dealing primarily with archetypal geometric forms, a palette of ‘basic color’, and an allusion to artifacts.

In his practice, Brain press clay into a variety of molds to produce simple geometric forms. Through this working process he is able to achieve a deep surface texture that reveals materiality and process while maintaining forms with precise geometry. He primarily employ variations of spheres and cubes, both in whole and in fragment as a starting point for my work. Brian is attracted to these forms because the possibility for meaning is open-ended and because of their minimal simplicity.
