AUSTEN BRANTLEY
Through the exploration of form and texture, I strive to create a visual representation of our emotional landscape, revealing raw and vulnerable aspects of ourselves that we often hide from the world. Each sculpture in the Unearthed series embodies a unique combination of strength and fragility, inviting viewers to confront and reveal their own hidden emotions and vulnerabilities.
These sculptures serve as a catalyst for personal introspection and growth, encouraging individuals to embrace their own complexity and embrace the beauty in imperfection.
By pushing the boundaries of traditional sculpture techniques and experimenting with unconventional materials, I hope to challenge viewers' perceptions of what sculpture can be and the emotions they experience. In the end creating a visceral and emotional experience for the viewer, one that transcends language and culture and speaks directly to the human experience.
