Tobias Fified

I am new to KC and have lived and worked as a teaching artist in art and design education; having traveled in India, Thailand, China, Korea, and Japan for nearly twenty-years. I’ve been collecting rubbish and other found materials, mostly indigenous materials from each culture I have visited; I have been using found scraps of rubbish throughout Asia where I have been transforming relief printmaking works from disposable waste, creating modular sculptural forms that I continue to experiment with. My work is a personal documentation; leaving the notion of minimalism representing a monolithic sense with a composition that focuses on the relationship of the individual disconnection with disposable waste contrasted against bold bright bold colors. This methodology in creating a modular wall sculpture represent time as a temporary documentation of our existence in an ever-growing disposable society that is waiting for change.
