Shadow Matter:
The Rhythm of Structure
114 for M. Scott Johnson
This essay is an expansion of the original written for the 2007 exhibition of the New York based contemporary African American stone sculptor at Sankaranka Gallery in NYC. In exploring the impact and possibilities of Johnson's work, author patrick brennan discusses the renaissance of stone sculpture in Zimbabwe (where Johnson apprenticed with master Nicholas Mukomberanwa), the dynamics of Afrological and Eurological aesthetics, the creative tilt of Detroit (Johnson's home town), the lucidity of internal body state conceptions, kinesthetic codes, rhythmic memes, musical intelligence's kinship with sculptural gesture, the specific topography of the individual sensibility and the blinders of aesthetic profiling. Now published in the book of the same title.
