In LA, anything goes; whatever you want to grow can grow, as long as you’ve got some water. There’s a lot of [other] reasons, like weather, but really in the end, I literally needed a change of scenery.’⠀ ⠀ In his new studio, which was originally a depot for garbage trucks with a dirt floor that was then later paved over, Gregory is able to fully realise the large-scale sculptures that he has been most recently focusing on. The minimal, warehouse-style space perfectly serves as a blank canvas for Gregory to sketch, mould and build his wide array of works, which range from statuesque, yet amorphous chairs, and sea creature-like pendant lights, to sculptural bronze floor-standing lights that resemble fauna. ‘It’s a very simple white box. I put a skylight in and a roll-down door, and that’s exactly what I need.'⠀ ⠀ ‘In LA, I have a lot more space, there’s less of a grind, I can think clearer. From an environmental standpoint, everything is more open and bigger in California.'⠀ ⠀ See more of Rogan Gregory's works and explore his new studio via the link in bio.⠀ ( Photography: @stephenkentjohnson / Artistic Direction: @michaelreynoldsnyc / Words: @pei_ru_keh )⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #RoganGregory #Sculpture #LosAngeles #SantaMonica #Art #WallpaperMagazine @randcompanynyc」8月18日 5時57分
