{"product_id":"jay-heikes","title":"Jay Heikes","description":"The metamorphoses of substance: the first monograph on Jay Heikes’ alchemical transmutations of matter, from gelatin to horse hair\n\nThe first major catalog on Minneapolis-based artist Jay Heikes (born 1975), this book surveys 20 years of an expansive oeuvre that includes sculpture, painting and installation. His heterogeneous practice mixes and reinterprets a kaleidoscopic array of media, activating stories, puns and irony in a cyclical meditation. Heikes’ sculptures look at once like they emerged from the earth and dropped from the sky: branching metal limbs that twist along the floor, wax- and horsehair-wrapped twigs, silver gelatin mounds, scattered orbs of indeterminate composition and slag-coated detritus.\n\nThrough his use of unexpected pairings of materials, his artistic approach reveals the precarious relationships that characterize the infinite matter of the universe. The son of a chemist and educator, he is particularly fascinated by the alchemy inherent in the never-ending transformation of one substance into another, revealing the histories and processes sometimes hidden below the surface of our natural and unnatural worlds.","brand":"Gregory R Miller \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54022895337816,"sku":null,"price":49.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781941366318_7ee20ab7-f975-4229-90a5-dcb9f5cf624e.jpg?v=1778534118","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/jay-heikes","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
