The allure of the unattainable and its connection to the passage of time are central to John Powers’ creative work, often manifesting through the inclusion of sound and motion as compositional elements. Influences from classical myth, Buddhist philosophy, landscape, and visions of the afterlife intersect freely with interests in technology, music, history, language, and geometry. His exhibition includes kinetic sculpture, carved objects, assemblage, and video works. Though disparate in form and technique, the work is invested in materiality, movement, and the poetic complications that arise at the intersection of the two.
