The sculptural works in NEO AIR play with material translation, scale, and inverted spaces to enhance the feeling of gravity, displacement, and stillness. Subjects include: soft sculptures of rock formations; a ceramic cast of Malen’s entire body; and underwater video of Olympic divers. The collection of dynamic figurative works and immersive video installation strategically utilizes formal devices of surface, material, and composition to enhance the plasticity of the surrounding architecture.

NEO AIR investigates the illusion of stillness by contemplating the cyclical nature of cultural debris from our past that is reimagined and introduced in our present.
