My studies in the natural sciences have made me aware of these hidden layers of complexity present in even the simplest objects. These invisible layers are seen most clearly through the lens of logic, which is used to decipher the underlying rules and laws that govern the physical world.<\/p>\n<p>In my work, I try to mimic these elegant structures of nature by developing systems of my own with which to express my thoughts and ideas, so that the medium and the message appear as one.<\/p>\n<p>I think of it like a game, with a set of axioms that are established at the outset through the limitations of the material or forms from which the work is constructed, which then dictates what can and cannot be \u201csaid\u201d within the boundaries of the chosen medium. This material limitation can also be a strength, as there is the potential to contain thoughts and ideas in unique ways, so that the \u201cmedium\u201d can become the \u201cmessage.\u201d This intertwining of form and function can be seen most directly in my most recent work, which is comprised of crayons, shredded paper, dollar bills, and even a color based system of writing.<\/p>\n<p>These systems function as a private language, that allows me to express many layers of meaning within each work that I create. I think of them as complex visual \u201cpoems,\u201d which can redefine the way we think about the meaning of communication.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>\u201cWhat we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence\u201d \u2013\u00a0\u00a0Ludwig Wittgenstein<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kim Foster Gallery September 07 &#8211; October 07, 2017 Kim Foster is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Christian Faur.\u00a0\u00a0This will be Faur\u2019s third solo exhibition that will inaugurate our newly renovated gallery space.
