William Eric Brown's studio practice spans a wide range of media while often obscuring his chosen materials, such as his treatment of painting cast bronze to resemble foam core. His photographs and small sculptures explore ideas about the interiority of spaces, whether emotional or physical, and his cast aluminum and painted bronze sculptures balance deeply studied structure with playful, intuitive building. His dreamlike prints, layered with watercolor and inkjet on photographic paper, echo the experience of driving through heavy fog – at once ominous yet exciting.
