Impact

The “Impact” series manifests the unseen exerted force to its counterpart. The epoxy cast of this force ignites a chemical reaction that channels the universal language. The artwork uncovers a new eco-system, suggesting that there can be no human action without nature’s reaction.

Gene Kiegel raises questions of legacy and preservation, or the forms natural life may take after its eradication. The thrust of the work is at once physical and philosophical, juxtaposing themes of growth and decay, and probing mankind’s impact on the natural world.
