Benjamin Mefford: Ozymandias
In Ozymandias, his largest solo exhibition to-date, Mefford reflects on the push and pull between control and creation, intention and innovation, the eternal and ephemeral. In a world where nothing lasts, he takes great comfort through sculpting granite, with the knowledge that those works will live on for thousands of years. There is something primal and centering about working with stone and other natural materials. Working with materials that have been used by humans for millennia, it is possible to become immersed in a feeling of simultaneous connection to the past, present, and future.
