ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Dustin Sparks is a sculptor based in Philadelphia. His work deals with notions of an overlooked ephemeral existence. He creates micro-social situations each with a unique climate and environment for the viewer to navigate, a non-logical isolated situation each with a unique climate and environment for the viewer to make sense and develop uninstructed individual purpose. Trained in ceramics, painting, and sculpture, Dustin’s practice has become a model of fluidity. He displays an uncanny freedom of materials and processes within his ‘situations’. Adapting to each physical location Dustin’s ‘situations’ becomes site-specific, yet they still evoke a homogenized ambiguity open for interpretation. Under further examination, Dustin’s ‘situations’ can be viewed as an immediate entropic discourse of the unknown, insignificant and dismissed.
