Philip Donovan


Fountain, 1996, copper/graphite/concrete, 42"hx18"wx18"d
My work revolves around the metamorphic implication of material and form. Through a process of fragmentation and reassembly of unexpected but not unknown combinations of material I build pieces that can be apprehended both physically and psychologically as formally self-sufficient and metaphorically evocative.
