  the thing & other constructs by Austin Heitzman  
 
   
   
   
 
artist's statement:    

The Thing is a rough, perhaps primeval, construction
evoking expression through playful invention. Rigid drawings in space,
threatening a shift in form at every moment, reveal circumstantial evidence

 
of previous existences
   
A complex, dependent system of raw material
awaiting organization
struggling to summon a host of associations
freely and organically
growing layer upon layer
utilizing its own history in the development of existing forms.
