Sean Lundgren’s recent work has grown out of systems of tension. Weights in suspension, whose s
upports form a kind of line drawing, create a scene that questions aspects of our lives; aspects that can create tension in our selves. Creating work for E8: Sculpture that is much lighter in weight than his usual work, Lundgren his shares first impressions of Transformer’s space, stating: “My first reaction to the Transformer space was how vertical it is. I found my gaze constantly drifting upward and was reminded of how cathedrals are designed to direct the viewer's gaze to the heavens. Cathedral architecture then became a jumping off point to explore lines in space. I settled on using mason line to map out the curves of the arches because I liked the idea of using a light weight material to represent something that, though built with stone, was designed to have an airy feeling.”
