Highland Park resident Bryan Rasmussen is exhibiting at Grafitti Gallery through March 15.Artist and sculptor Bryan Rasmussen, who is exhibiting at Graffiti Gallery through March 15, sees each of his pieces as an object of meditation.
“I try to create a charged space for the viewer,” the Highland Park resident said.
He said the pieces encourage the viewer to reflect inwardly. Each piece represents something being revealed or coming apart.
“There’s a little element of danger,” Rasmussen said of his sculptures. “It looks like it could fall over, but it won’t, because of the way it’s constructed.”
He describes his sculptures as lines expressed in 3-D using square, tube-like shapes that are frozen in time, like a photograph. His inspiration for the works in the show was a seed pod bursting open, revealing what was inside, as well as rocks with fractures in them, he said.
