Jim Hodges - with you - 2024
American artist Jim Hodges is known internationally for his singular ability to infuse emotion and narrative into the objects of our daily lives, centering experience as the primary objective of his work. Many of Hodges’ sculptures are forged from humble or found materials that are transformed through his touch, conjuring both memory and imagination.
With you presents multiple possibilities with two vessels—one of basalt stone, and one of cast glass—which can be suspended together in a handmade wooden pedestal or separately as a wall-mounted relief. In itself an inclusive gesture, with you depends upon the participation of its owner: the artwork is complete when flowers are placed inside the objects. Each time the flowers are replaced, with you is reactivated and resolved once again.
“The artwork is an invitation and an opportunity for connection. It was conceived as a meditation and a celebration to honor the spectrum of beauty we share and the possibilities relationships invite—with gratitude for all who’ve joined forces to generously impact lives in the most positive ways we can imagine.” — Jim Hodges
