LOS ANGELES, CA – (PNAN) – Opening Saturday, January 14, 2017 at Jason Vass, “Metamorphosis” features new works by sculptor Douglas Tausik Ryder, uses both traditional techniques as well as cutting edge digital fabrication, which will be of large scale works in wood and bronze and related works on paper.
Tausik Ryder uses obsolete computer controlled machinery in his studio as well as CAD/CAM along with traditional woodworking techniques. The objects, which come from his dreams, are then defined by mathematical and geometric formulas. The relationship between traditional woodworking and the computer-engineered, parallels the struggle between the biomorphic and geometric in his work.
