timo fahler (b. 1978, Tulsa, OK) uses steel, glass, plaster, wood, and found objects to construct culturally significant works. Combining formal elements of sculpture with visual references to his heritage, fahler’s work explores ideas of home and indigeneity. His practice is inspired by science fiction, historical texts and comparative mythology, and hones in on his knowledge of labor and craft-based materials to present alternative narratives. Through rebar drawings, glass compositions and plaster replicas of his body he invokes familial relationships to manual labor. As a brown artist born in the Midwest, fahler’s work celebrates and reconsiders the existence of a multi-cultural aesthetic in America. Visit www.timofahlerarchive.com for full cv and biography.
