About the Artist
"I am always putting icons through the ringer. My drawings and sculptures explore a complicated relationship to heroic men of the past, focusing on their objects and iconography in a way that simultaneously builds up and tears down these obscured historical figures. Bygone athletes and musicians are alternately rendered and subsumed through labor-intensive processes of drawing, casting, crating, and erasure. Figures are reimagined as monuments in the process of being fabricated, as talismans from the past, as crates to protect absent forms, or as geodes that are cut apart." artist statement Norm Paris hopperprize.org/norm-paris/
