Artist Statement
Brian Holcombe works between sculpture, photography, painting, printmaking, and books examining the potential of the archive to materialize the fluidity of history, memory, and time. ... His work utilizes repetition of analog and digital processes to break down image, form, and material in order to reconstruct an expanded meaning from their fragments. These processes lead to mutations that suggest new connections and ask the viewer to reconsider the forms of historical representation.
