Jen Aitken, Ryan Amadore and Jeremy Green's new works consider the relations between natural and synthetic materials offering a sincere and obsessive exploration of these resources. All of these sculptural works function as pleasurable objects and loaded symbols with varied aesthetic, material and conceptual concerns, yet sharing a desire for both visceral experience and cerebral expansion.
