Curator’s Comment:

 

The Factory, as the title implies, is a direct juxtaposition of industry and humanity, at its most base level.  The large physical scale of the piece is certain to exert dramatic monumentality to the ubiquitous subjects, and offer a startling honest reading into the intended content.  The symmetry of the compositional arrangement offers stability and a disquieting harmony as the subjects fall into a decidedly linear order.  But I also see the split color and tonality of the two halves of the urinal sections as well as the slight slanting of their rows as suggesting an organic or humanistic disruption of the imposed order of things.  Or perhaps there’s a statement there about masculinity?  The small section of contrasting clouds in the center offers hope, as well as a relief value through the pressing (or repressing) manmade structures.  But ultimately I respond to the formal harmony of lines in the transparent buildings and linear patterns that move through the structures.  While proximity of the disparate forms calls to mind conceptual contrast, as a unified work of art, they’re all one.
