Eric Mack
b. 1987, United States
Sculptor Eric Mack (b.1987) works in New York and uses found textiles, old clothes and runway fashion to create soft-fabric, sculpture-like works. Amalgamations of silk, cotton, and/or spandex are stitched together and hang from the walls as the artist forgoes traditional support structures in favour of draping fabric or hanging it as if from a flagpole to blur the boundaries between painting and soft sculpture. The artist’s investigation of materiality reaffirms the reality of objects in the increasingly immaterial post Internet era.
