Alyson Shotz: Experiment in Gravity

Alyson Shotz’s works are created through process-driven methods such as accumulation and structure-building with inspiration from physics, optical effects, mathematics, and atmospheric effects. Shotz creates sculptures that play with light, shifting perspectives, weightlessness, fluidity, and human sensations that can sometimes blur the line between organic and human-made.
