The work of Norman Mooney is strongly influenced by industrial design. His neatly finished pieces are the result of complex industrial processes: glass compression, aluminum casting, screen printing, among others. Using these methods, Mooney delivers works that generate deep aesthetic and conceptual reflections.

 

Mooney’s understanding of space considers its temporal aspect; for Mooney, space exists not only in relation to time, it is within time. In this sense, his work invites us to understand ourselves as co-producers of this space and to stay in the immediacy of the present.

 

Mooney’s work is only activated when we move within the exhibition space; when the sharp edges of the objects force us to become aware of our own body or when our eyes seek to focus the inexorably amorphous figures of his carbon installations, while the lights, darks and colors of his drawings generate vibrations and his glass sculptures fragment light.
