Work: Hornsby's "Fracture Recontextualized" Series
"Fracture Recontextualized"
"Fracture Recontextualized"
"Fracture-Recontextualized" is an experiment that joins Hornsby's pre-existing paintings into larger, more complex compositions.
Hornsby explains: "I was inspired by the kinetic technique of Alexander Calder’s mobiles and how he overcame the static nature of art. The modular forms I’ve conceived within each of my paintings have the potential to continually vary and evolve through perpetual redesign and placement. They are not fixed entities, but objects of change. With every fluid unfolding, I believe they are the embodiment of performance and installation art.
"The modularity of my forms opens the door to the possibility of co-creative art, in which I and collectors/exhibitors/other artists collaborate to jointly determine the appearance of the work.
"This collective evolution, with each turn of recomposing and decomposing, offers an alternative perspective and interpretation.
"The original paintings can be re-contextualized by the rearranging of their parts, thereby providing unlimited possibilities not yet imagined."
