Lore, Console, and Consult
2024
Lore, Console, and Consult (2024) commands attention through its layered materiality and restrained chromatic tension. Ishi Glinsky constructs the work from resin, pigment, aluminum, wood, adhesive, and foam, assembling these industrially inflected materials into a composition that hovers between sculpture and painting. At roughly 128 by 123 centimeters and nearly nine centimeters deep, the piece occupies wall space with a physical insistence that flat works cannot achieve, its depth casting subtle shadows that shift with ambient light and animate the surface throughout the day. Glinsky, a Tucson-born artist whose practice is rooted in questions of Indigenous identity, craft tradition, and conceptual rigor, uses material accumulation as a form of cultural and personal archive. The title itself, with its trio of charged verbs, suggests acts of transmission and care, the passing of knowledge between generations, the offering of comfort, and the seeking of guidance. These themes are embedded not merely in iconographic content but in the very structure of the object, where adhesive and foam become agents of cohesion and protection, and aluminum introduces a reflective, contemporary counterpoint to the warmth of wood and pigment. Signed by the artist and currently available through P.P.O.W, this work represents a compelling acquisition for collectors drawn to practices that engage seriously with materiality as meaning. Glinsky has earned sustained critical recognition for his ability to reconcile conceptual depth with sensory immediacy, and Lore, Console, and Consult exemplifies that balance. The unframed presentation is consistent with the artist's intent, allowing the object's own edges and surfaces to define the terms of its encounter with any given interior.
