John Bock — fabric, wood and coal
John Bock

fabric, wood and coal

John Bock's work presents an raw assemblage of industrial and organic materials, combining fabric, wood, and coal into a visceral, tactile composition. The piece reflects Bock's characteristically chaotic and theatrical sensibility, blurring the boundaries between sculpture, performance residue, and everyday detritus. The interplay of soft textile against the roughness of wood and the dark, powdery presence of coal evokes a tension between the domestic and the primal.
