About Show more

Brian Tolle’s sculptures and installations emphasize a dialog with history and context, often incorporating the themes of architecture, site, and technology. Using a variety of media, his work draws from the scale and experience of its surroundings, provoking a re-reading by cross-wiring reality and fiction. Drawing ideas from a broad-based conceptual analysis, Tolle blurs the border between the contemporary and the historical. His approach involves in-depth research which is then distilled and directed, creating an intuitive personal response.
