ABOUT THE ARTIST

Alec Madoff creates assemblages and sculptures that are directly inspired by his life-long love affair with collecting, which include pottery shards, shells, pods, bones, and small tools and relics from the distant past. Each work is meticulously organized, simulating carefully composed grids and concentric circles, while suggesting the curious illusion that these objects are suspended and weightless in space. The combination of such details elevates the preciousness and nostalgia of each object used, suggesting a sacredness and inherent value in items that have been discarded or forgotten from the past.
