Silver Monochrome

Jacob Kassay

“They’re meant to be objects that engage the space around them.”

Jacob Kassay

"The surface of the work moves into attention and recedes from it, always oscillating. It often reminds me of the autofocus of a digital camera, which doesn’t know what to do with a silver painting’s surface when I’m trying to document the work. It goes in and out, unable to separate the painting’s present surroundings from the object itself." Jacob Kassay, 2013
