A new Film by Eric Minh Swenson In Liminal Spaces, Ty Pownall says, “I work sculpturally, combining languages of articulation (maps, architectural models, symbols) with ephemeral forms and materials to build relationships that explore instability or the unknown. Working with structures as both tangible and conceptual allows for properties such as brittleness, exibility, weight, tension, balance, etcetera to operate both physically and metaphorically. The ways we cope with uncertainty and absurdity are central to my practice. Recently, the most visible manifestation of this in the work has been my interest in the space we inhabit on the timeline of the known universe. Utilizing references to landscape and architecture allows me to consider my timeline in relationship to the vastness of Time, while acknowledging the necessary importance of my day-to- day phenomenal reality.” Ty Pownall About Ty Pownall Ty Pownall is an artist working in Los Angeles, California.
