This body of work interrogates the complex entanglement between industrial and environmental processes through organic forms, exploring steel as base for evoking the delicate yet persistent structures of lichen, coral, and other biomorphic growths. By employing hand-carved plasma cutting and layered automotive pigments, I embrace the tension between industrial decay and natural resilience, revealing how material processes inscribe themselves into both environmental and social narratives.

The sculptures take inspiration from lichen, a composite organism that thrives in liminal space—a symbiotic entanglement of fungi and algae that exists between worlds, neither fully plant nor fungus but the relationship between the two.

Join us September 27th for the opening reception for Garrett Owen Gilbart’s exhibition ‘Terra Precarium’. The artist will be present between 1-4 pm where he will be blending sculpture and sound using the integration of microphones, synthesizers, a modified metal detector and theremin transforming his lichen sculptures into resonant instruments.
