Sculptures

Donald Moffett's sculptures both extend and complicate the formal and conceptual concerns present throughout his broader practice. Working with industrial materials like steel and aluminum, Moffett creates contraptions that maintain a distinctive tension between mechanical precision and organic sensibility. His sculptures emerge from the wall or floor with a corporeal presence that is in direct dialogue with his paintings, pushing further into territories of spatial disruption and embodied encounter. Through these three-dimensional investigations, Moffett continues to create works that demand physical negotiation while remaining open to broader social and political readings. Often existing in deliberate states of formal irresolution, Moffett’s sculptures materialize his interest in articulating resistance through aesthetic transformation.
