Brian Boldon's approach to art revolves around capturing and materializing moments, concepts, and experiences. His exhibit, Scatter / Gather, reexamines how landscapes can be represented and perceived, inviting the audience to engage with Boldon’s unique view of presence. Boldon reflects, “Your practice becomes a way to map and interpret the intricate dance between reality and perception, making each piece a unique reflection of your interaction with the world around you.”

Boldon’s works transform his drawings and paintings into three-dimensional pieces. He employs a variety of materials, including printed nylon/carbon fiber, recycled plastic water bottles, porcelain, and oil and acrylic paint, to construct structures that forge a connection with the landscape. These freestanding and suspended sculptures feature geometric, light-sensitive elements, giving them a weightless appearance and creating an interconnected, woven landscape. Boldon’s vision conveys a story of flowing energy through his objects. “I imagine each piece as an intimate universe, bound together by positive attraction.” Scatter / Gather forges a meaningful connection among the work, the viewer, and Boldon himself.
