Piece description from the artist
On a trip to his favorite architectural salvage shop, Brandon Woods discovered a draping mass of thin metal out of which thousands of circles had been cut, leaving interconnected curvilinear triangles which caught the sunlight at different angles and seemed to form outlines of sunbursts. Photographing those sunbursts through a prism, Woods was able to capture a full spectrum of glowing light and add a sense of ethereality to these industrial remnants.
Brandon Woods (b. 1987, Knoxville, TN, USA) is an interdisciplinary artist who creates his work at the intersection of art, craft, science, and math. His research-based process has led him to create dynamic abstract paintings on innovative, dimensional shaped panels and to creating prismatic photographs bursting with color. Woods earned his MFA in Painting from SCAD in 2015 and his BFA in Studio Art (Painting and Sculpture) from Middle Tennessee State University in 2010. He has received numerous awards and grants for his work, including most recently an American Rescue Plan grant through the combined support of the Arts & Culture Alliance of Knoxville, the City of Knoxville, and the Federal Department of the Treasury to construct a large-scale work based on the James Webb Space Telescope that is now on permanent display in the Emporium in downtown Knoxville. His work has been exhibited and collected throughout the United States and internationally: in New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Hong Kong, Canada, and France. He currently lives and works in Knoxville, TN.
