About the artist
John Monn is an interdisciplinary artist who lives and works in Los Angeles. His work utilizes a range of materials, creating theatrical installations, paintings, and sculptures amongst others. Monnʼs practice currently centers around a repetitious process of gestural models sketched in 3D. The models help hone fluid forms to then craft objects that inspire introspection. John also plays with scale both digitally and with physical objects presented in ways to alter perception and to spike curiosity in materials and environment.
About the artwork
This body of work is born from the trash of making and shipping art in Los Angeles. The Masks are built from trash cardboard that was used as one-time packaging to ship artworks from Europe to LA to be exhibited and traded as a cultural commodity. The Flowers are the spent mixers from preparing the epoxy components while creating the Masks. Cleats.
