I am the mind remover

2020

"I am the mind remover" by Dan Herschlein is a mixed media work that exemplifies the artist's maximalist approach to material accumulation and transformation. Constructed from wood, plaster, pigmented joint compound, epoxy putty, milk paint, wax, graphite, colored pencil, and epoxy resin, the piece demonstrates Herschlein's characteristic layering of both traditional and industrial materials to create complex, textured surfaces. Presented in the artist's own frame, the work invites viewers to contemplate the relationship between material process and conceptual meaning through its enigmatic title and densely worked composition.
