PAST GROUNDED IN NATURE
Vincent Pocsik + Ian Tredway, 2020
Digital Exhibition 09
"And this gold leaf – we all know this but it really touched me when I saw it – the gold leaf shone right from the back of the room, out of a deep darkness. Which means gold seams to have the capacity to pick up even the smallest quantities of light and reflect them in the darkness."
- Peter Zumthor, Atmospheres: Architectural Environments, Surrounding Object (Basel, Switzerland: Birkhäuser, 2006) 58.

About the Artists:
Vincent Pocsik is an American artist from Cleveland, OH who currently works and lives Los Angeles, CA. Vincent’s work balances old and new fabrication techniques to breathe new life into materials while holding onto the richness of the past. This process is influenced by the desire to push the traditional boundaries of mediums such as wood, glass and metal so each work transforms into an anatomical expression and presence of its own.
