Daniel Karas – Biomechanoid Dwellings & Deformation Ornamentation
Tuesday, 13 May 2014
Kiai – Daniel Karas & Jeff Halstead
Daniel Karas uses organic forms at the extreme end of complexity to generate pathologically excessive ornamental forms and biomorphic architectural speculations. Cross-sections of building propositions are presented as deformed cavernous geological forms composed of complex amalgams of shapes, reminiscent of cooled molten material, where negative space is intended for habitation. The process of miscreation and malformation play a key role in these works as ‘different chunks are continually being dismembered, combined, left in place or removed again – constituting a process of production based in deformity’ In the work Limn, with Austin Samson, hatching is used as a technique to accentuate light, shade and shadow. The sharp graphic lines of differing densities reinforce a graphic etched woodcut aesthetic resulting in rich anachronistic biomechanoid dwellings.
