Erik Geschke, Surrogate, 2015, Polymerized gypsum, fiberglass, Styrofoam, epoxy, acrylic, 5" x 10" x 9"
My work deals with personal and social narratives more oblique than obvious. The images I use are primarily recognizable, whether human, other animals, the surrounding environment, or our own creations. Through the use of materials, imagery, and titles of varying origins and connotations, an awkwardness is created in which elements of both comedy and tragedy exist.
It is my aim to draw viewers into my work with something that may seem familiar at first. Upon closer inspection, the presence of satire and the absurd in the work confronts the viewers and subverts what at first seemed familiar. As a result, the viewers' perceptions of both the work and, hopefully, everything around them are in some way altered.
