Park Avenue Paper Chase 2014
" I wanted the work to have
a random, haphazard
quality - in some cases,
piling up on itself, in others
spinning off into the air.
Much of the energy of the
city is invisible. It is the
energy of thought and ideas
colliding and being
transmitted outward."
Alice Aycock
2010's
"The empirical has become
virtual, and movement
around voids has been
reconfigured as static
envelopes of space encasing
and defining them."
Robert Hobbs
2000's
"Aycock's work invites the viewer
to experience sculpture with the entire body and a fully engaged
mind."
Robert Hobbs
1990's
"By exploring the physical and existential positions of isolation, estrangement, disorientation, entrapment, and fear, her three- dimensional constructions not only posit alternative states of mind, they suppose possible narratives and suggest multiple
truths and lies."
Robert Hobbs
1980's
"Schizophrenia and other mental
conditions, sometimes considered metaphors for the disconnections of postmodern existence, are specific sources of
inspiration."
Robert Hobbs
1970's
"The problem seems to be how to connect without connecting."
"Influenced by the 'specific
objects' of minimalism's hybrid forms and by conceptualism's emphasis on language, Aycock relies on paradigms, cybernetics, phenomenology, information overload, outdated scientific thinking, and computer programming to create a
'complex' that is architectural and sculptural as well as mental
and emotional."
