Steven Lockwood: Architectural Stability vs Emotional Stability
@ Slate Arts + Performance
3203 W North Ave, Chicago, IL 60651
Opening Saturday, March 4th, from 7PM - 10PM
On view through Sunday, April 2nd
We are all the culmination of our experiences and challenges we have faced throughout our lives. In “Architectural Stability vs Emotional Stability,” Lockwood’s work shows us what it’s like overcoming obstacles in our lives or being overcome by these obstacles. Amongst the struggles one places on oneself or the conflicts amongst others, these pieces show the experiences that one goes through that inevitability determined who we have come to be. By using materials that are used to create sturdy architectural structures, he compares the stability in architecture with one’s emotional stability and, in turn, shows the strength or fragility in the human psyche. Lockwood uses his concrete forms for a stand-in for the human body and references a moment in a vulnerable state. Overtime, the mind’s patterns can become concrete emotions that either repeat a certain behavioral pattern or become set in its ways, reliving within their own purgatory. These figures are not stuck in a place, but a condition of existence until they are able to work through their agonizing state of mind to move forward.
Please join us at Slate Arts + Performance on Saturday March 4th for the opening reception of Steven Lockwood’s work!
