This peculiar object is part of the recurring elements that are usually found in the vast landscapes that unfold on the horizon of the Elgreen Project universe. These monolithic artifacts welcome the viewer into commonly dilapidated spaces, standing tall like tombstones; serving as a kind of guide or compass for the lonely wanderer, whose footsteps might have mistakenly found the entrance to these forbidden spaces.

“El Artillero”, or as artist Sasha Fishman called it, “a sophisticated red lemon squeezer” is the perfect example in relation to the recurrent criteria of scale, material, and iteration found in my work.

ORBIS TERTIUS -HLAER TO JANGR-

This sculptural object, created in collaboration with the amazing artist Pete Karis and Paradise Labs, is first introduced in a process involving two main components: a hand-polished styrofoam half-sphere and a subsequent 3D-printed grooved cone glazed in red automotive paint. This is later translated into a large-scale inflatable sculpture iteration of the small-scale model, constructed with 500D Nylon. This dramatic shift of scale is, of course, deliberate, and is intended to generate a disorienting effect in the viewer. In addition, the thoughtful placement of the small artwork in the gallery space, followed by the large-scale model in the basement, is created purposefully to contrast the narrative of the real world (Baltimore) to the secret dimension that lurks in the spaces beyond the gallery walls.
