Alex Hubbard — Column
Alex Hubbard

Column

"Column" by Alex Hubbard presents a striking intersection of industrial materiality and photographic process, combining a print on aluminum with the utilitarian presence of a C-clamp. The work plays with notions of support and tension, as the clamp simultaneously functions as both a sculptural element and a means of physical fastening, blurring the line between tool and art object. Hubbard's pairing of slick, modern surface with raw hardware invites viewers to question the boundaries between image, object, and structure.
