"lessISmore" #3

Welcome to

“lessISMore” #3

< = >

Cone9Colab and guest artists making art that is born out of the lesser, the bare necessities. Rather than relying on the false abundance of materials, devices, information and whatnot, we focus on the essentials: simplicity, back to the roots, embracing the non-processed, imperfect and untamed material & process inspired in the moment. Material matter! lessISmore means mixed-media & inclusiveness by definition; within # 3, we are focusing on another piece of the puzzle: one of the mother-materials known to mankind of all: clay. Merging the clay’s chronological timeline of 280 million years (e.g, granite) and ours (+/-90 years), a beautiful testimony of more and more about the lesser less in the flow emerges for the seeing eye and observing mind.
