ky maurer is an artist working out of richmond, virginia. 


the accumulation of meaning and inner life of materials – concrete, metal, wood, with a queer sense of subversion. 

each piece plays with the signs of body, sexuality, and industry. concrete becomes fragile and fleshy. metal is functionless and polished. restraints double as supports. each material undermines its stable definitions in a haze of signifiers. the result is something caught between a body and an object, active and passive at the same time. 

the work embodies the multiplicity of queerness. how it functions as a lens to see beyond norms and expectations. it opens the recesses of material reality and imagines new forms of existence.
