The work of Austin artist, Brian Frisbie, seamlessly combines the tenent of form and function. Brian's pieces incorporate industrial processes and organic materials such as steel, concrete and spalted pecan to create furniture that is both useful and able to stand alone as minimalist sculpture. Inspired by the simple expression of common geometric forms, Frisbie's most recent pieces have evolved into cantilevered works that are at once massive and delicate, balanced and asymmetrical, graceful and resilient. They resemble buildings one would want to inhabit and with addition of partner Barbara Frisbie's miniature landscapes in the nooks and crannies, the pieces become ecosystems unto themselves. The addition of architectural, specimen plants breathes life and warmth into modernism. The combination of these two talents results in work that creates a space rather than simply occupying it.
