MP__ll’s work is centered on the development of provisional frameworks for sculpting and drawing. Inspired by the accessibility and ease with which digital apps modify and re-present the world, Powell uses quick and economical methods to construct human-scaled devices for art-making. By emphasizing the tool itself, the work becomes more about future potential rather than any one particular composition in the present.
