Composite Artifact 3 presents a carefully composed assembly of sandstone, schist, monzonite, and resin, bound together into a form that reads simultaneously as relic and proposition. Gala Porras-Kim constructed this small-scale work in 2015 as part of her sustained inquiry into how objects accumulate institutional meaning and how that meaning can be dismantled, redistributed, or reimagined through material recombination. The geological diversity of the stones invites immediate tactile curiosity, while the resin introduces a contemporary, almost clinical presence that holds the natural fragments in deliberate tension. Measuring just 14 by 35.6 by 23.9 centimeters, the work operates with an intimacy that rewards close attention. Porras-Kim, whose practice spans sculpture, drawing, and performance, consistently interrogates the systems through which cultures classify and preserve objects, particularly those extracted from their original contexts. Composite Artifact 3 embodies this critique by presenting something that resembles an archaeological specimen while refusing to behave as one. The resin binding neither preserves nor authenticates; it suspends, complicating any straightforward reading of origin or value. Signed by the artist and offered through Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, this work represents an important entry point into Porras-Kim's sculptural output from a period central to her critical development. Collectors acquiring Composite Artifact 3 gain not only a formally compelling object but also a conceptual anchor within a body of work that has since attracted sustained museum and institutional recognition across the United States and internationally.
