Artist Statement
Kevin Driscoll (b.1987) is an artist originally from Boston, Massachusetts, who currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
Driscoll’s practice revolves around the use of various construction techniques and architectural details as a way to rearticulate the physical world. Within his research, he aims to constantly learn, acquire new skills and become more familiar with materials and techniques that allow him to translate his ideas into physical works of art.
Using his practice as a means of self reflection, his works often acknowledge the idea of emotional history embedded within materials and the unique associations they present for each viewer. His work celebrates the complexity of past and experience, in turn, leading us to reflect on our own journeys, injecting his works with our own meaning.
By using common materials familiar to all viewers, Driscoll questions the morals of art and the importance put on seemingly useless objects as they compare to their functional counterparts seen throughout our cities as temporary inconveniences. Through this exploration, he seeks to highlight various details that are both essential and absurd in our built environment.
