Working throughout assemblage, sculpture, and set up and infrequently in communities, vanessa german (beforehand) steadily returns to like and honesty because the core of her follow and subsequently, her life. She believes love is an “infinite human technology” with the immense potential to catalyze change and mobilize individuals, and it emerges in her work not as a theme or metaphor however as a fabric, named alongside others like rose quartz, Astroturf, and the artist’s personal hair.
As she explains on this dialog, german is allergic to pretense and compartmentalizing. As an alternative, she makes work within the method she lives her life, with an immense ardour for curiosity and care and a deep understanding of what it means to be complete.
