Fossils
The “Fossils” series employs beeswax to foment ideas of life’s origins and inception in its search for the universal language. Gene Kiegel continues his deductive exploration of basal organic interaction in a petri dish cast of a rock formation.
Despite their vulnerable constitution, the artworks resemble machine-cut stone slabs. Channeling the universal language, the surface image evokes life on the cosmic and prehistoric scale, suggesting the big bang, or imprints of extinct organisms. These sculptures are markers of time, reflected physically and conceptually through their halted state.
