Mandeep Dillon

Mandeep Dillon makes ephemeral sculptures that are an ongoing investigation into the passing physicality of human and non-human entities. Conflicted about occupying space and adding to a crowded world, temporality is an integral aspect of works that are made primarily from inflatables. Their physical stability depends on a delicate balance between the inner and outer pressure of their gossamer skins. Reacting to subtle environmental changes, their swollen buoyancy hints at a sense of imminent collapse. Experiencing something both abstract and visceral, the onlooker’s presence may trigger a kinetic reaction and an awareness of their embodied relationship with the sculpture.
