In a manner of material fetishization, the works imply abstracted, unraveled bodies; cyborg constructions of found, fabricated, or sculpted components. Predominately using steel, ceramic, and leather as raw materials, Mao cites the act of making, the transformation of materials, as a vehicle to both content and form. Mao evokes and examines a sense of otherness, with the concurrent sensations of restraint, domination and order. His works are coded with references to subcultures, countercultures and outsiders; enforced or self imposed on account of their social, racial, sexual, or transnational status. Mao sees deviance as the basis for his multivalent practice. Often layering these larger concerns over his own personal histories and social positioning, most recently the projects are based in family mythologies.Free & Open to the Public!This lecture will be both livestreamed and in person.
