Chapter VI Capitolo VI

Materiali misti

Composite assemblies — peperino with iron, wood with marble, tufo with brick. Assemblaggi compositi — peperino con ferro, legno con marmo, tufo con laterizi.

When Paul combines materials he tends toward collisions rather than blends. Peperino against rusted iron. Wood with a fragment of pink Portuguese marble and a piece of roof tile. Tufo paired with brick. Each combination is a small argument about weight, surface, and history.

Many of these works are totems — vertical assemblies that stack one material on another, often with iron rods running through them like spinal columns. The mixed-media pieces are also where Paul most often introduces colour: a stripe of red acrylic, a ground of black resin, the cool grey of marble against the warm grey of stone.

These are the most narrative of his sculptures — each one a small encounter staged between substances that don't usually meet.

Quando Paul combina materiali tende alle collisioni più che alle fusioni. Peperino contro ferro arrugginito. Legno con un frammento di marmo rosa di Portogallo e un pezzo di tegola. Tufo accoppiato a laterizio. Ogni combinazione è una piccola discussione sul peso, sulla superficie, sulla storia.

Molte di queste opere sono totem — assemblaggi verticali che impilano un materiale sull'altro, spesso con barre di ferro che li attraversano come colonne vertebrali. I pezzi misti sono anche il luogo dove Paul introduce più spesso il colore: una striscia di acrilico rosso, un fondo di resina nera, il grigio freddo del marmo contro il grigio caldo della pietra.

Sono le più narrative tra le sue sculture — ognuna è un piccolo incontro messo in scena tra sostanze che di solito non si incontrano.
