Sculpture, Glass on Steel
Size: 14 W x 14 H x 12 D in
Ships in a Crate
Inspired by the philosophy of Vilém Flusser and our current revolution in automation and computational intelligence this piece is inspired by an attempt to tease out new sculptural forms using the materials of machined metals, magnets, and dichroic glass. The dichroic glass splits light reflecting parts of the color spectrum while reflecting others. Simple forms become complex as the recursive reflections generate light and color space. The works are vulnerable to entropic decay as the magnets attract towards on and other, forcing orientations which result in the collapse of the sculpture towards a denser physical configuration and the breaking of glass into smaller pieces. The works are susceptible to implosion but their precarity is also responsible for the forms which result as forces act upon the individual components orienting the metal arcs along the curves and eddies of the magnets’ fields.

Jamie Hamilton's work has been exhibited internationally at venues including the Center for Contemporary Art in Santa Fe and the Lindner Project Space in Berlin. Hamilton grew up in Santa Fe, NM, where he studied classical piano for thirteen years with proteges of Claudio Arrau and Arthur Rubinstein. He holds a BA from Bard college in New York and an MFA from Transart University in Berlin. A climber since the age of eight, Hamilton has explored the Himalayas, Alps, Canadian Rockies but most enjoyed climbing El Capitan. Building wood, concrete and steel structures for Judy Pfaff, working with Tom Joyce and Bruce Nauman, and as a rigger in the entertainment world have solidified a knowledge of material and working processes that informs his artwork. Drawing from a varied background in sport, music and building, Hamilton's interdisciplinary work arises from curiosity about the limits of the body, knowledge and materials. Described by ARTnews as a “free-wheeling modern-day Leonardo,” Hamilton makes an art of pursuing balance in precarious circumstances, evoking both mythic themes and contemporary dilemmas.
