Oscar Tuazon

Two works: (i) (ii) I Can't See (Papercrete Edition)

2011

Oscar Tuazon's *Two works: (i) (ii) I Can't See (Papercrete Edition)* presents a raw, elemental investigation of materiality and perception, characteristic of the artist's interest in DIY construction and alternative building methods. Papercrete — a hybrid material composed of recycled paper pulp and concrete — lends the work a rough, textured presence that hovers between industrial and organic. The work's title introduces a tension between visibility and blindness, inviting reflection on the limits of understanding and the physical experience of encountering matter.
