Statement.
going to work—As an artist I make an effort to look at my surroundings and question the relationship between the objects and concepts that revolve around me at all times. This process of rationalizing and social internalization has led me to consider the term going to work and examine the different contexts in which we use it.

Some people use the phrase and imply their profession. Others use the phrase as an expression of physical or metal labor. While on the other hand, the phrase also suggests a belonging to civic and social responsibility, communities and other dichotomies entrenched within our contemporary world. Therefore, in going to work my objective has been to provide the viewer with an experience that helps inform their social position as an art viewer, and a citizen of a bigger community.

Using the Architecture of the Knock Knock Gallery, I was able to create a unique configuration of hand-made minimalist sculptures that surround the viewer as s/he walks through the gallerys space to produce an experience.

I want my work not to make one think first about art, but rather about something related to other work or life experiences I want to use these forms in my work to make spaces for the movement and endlessness of thinking and to provide time for the movement of reflection. -Thomas Hirshhorn
