The artwork depicts an abstract, geometric sculptural piece made of wood and metal. The composition features a series of stepped, rectangular platforms in neutral tones that create an asymmetrical, pyramid-like structure. The artwork showcases a minimalist design aesthetic, focusing on the interplay of simple shapes, angles, and materials. The use of a black strap or binding element adds a sense of tension and functionality to the piece. This contemporary sculpture likely reflects the artist's interest in exploring themes of balance, form, and the relationship between utilitarian and sculptural elements. ...
Ser Serpas’s practice exists at the blurred intersection of art, poetry and activism. Whether creating sculptures from debris found on the street, working with a hoard of fabric gifted by her friends, making an exhibition out of objects she found at the exhibition site, drawing in public spaces, or writing on train rides, Serpas makes work that complicates the notion of materiality amidst the late-capitalist condition. Created in private, intimate, seemingly improvised moments, the works are never fully -visible to her audiences. The artist’s exhibitions are composed of assemblages of discarded and mistreated objects turned corporeal, becoming what the artist calls ‘assisted readymades’. Subverting Duchamp’s readymades and Rauschenberg’s Combines – the male-dominated history of sculpture – Serpas returns the objects to the streets after her exhibitions, allowing them to revert to their original state and provokes playful questions about the value of the space inside a museum, as opposed to the outside. An activist since high -school, the artist speaks up about structural inequalities, and provides support through facilitated workshops, community aid and artistic inspiration.
