"I hope that the effect of my work is mostly physical. That’s what I like....having an experience of the weight of things, or an experience of balance."
The raw, industrial materials of rust, engine oil, charcoal, and cement converge on canvas in a work that demands a visceral, bodily response rather than purely intellectual contemplation. Tuazon's chosen substances carry an inherent gravity — corroded metal, heavy oil, and dense cement — evoking the physical weight and structural tension found in architecture and construction. The work exists as both object and experience, challenging the viewer to feel the pull of its mass and the precarious equilibrium of its elemental forces.
