Biography:
Steven Maybury's practice observes our own corporeal interaction with our surroundings, focusing on the scientific idea of energy transformation and combining it with metaphysical ideologies such as the nature of reality, the self, and time. If energy continually converts from one form to another, what implications would this have not only on the concept of artwork but also for an artwork itself and its components?
His work finds tight focus in variations of perception, not just of reality but of the objects we are surrounded with, and is influenced by minimalist composers such as Philip Glass and Steve Reich. Maybury's fascination in Glass’s and Reich’s compositions lies in their ability to make the listener perceive time and space differently. Their works reflect a beauty and energy rooted in the rhythms and cycles of our surroundings, consciousness, and our interrelationships with the natural world.
