Artist Statement

Josh Garber is interested in transmuting the inherent inertness of industrial elements into a radiant, sensual energy. Using machined metal parts in whimsical, playful, and sometimes irreverent ways, Garber reshapes the utilitarian view of industry into an expansive sensory meditation that unites the intellectual and the physical. In his work, materials such as nuts, bolts, screws, hex nuts, steel bars, and more blossom into a larger realm of fantasy.
