Self-taught sculptor Wes Thompson gathers medium from his environment in a dance of exchange between his body and the bodies that make up his home state–Cypress and fallen Juniper branches–to compose his sculptural systems, humble and strong like houses that weren’t meant for us, or a model of another system beyond our comprehension in synecdoche. He is based in Austin, Texas.
