Biography
David Kennedy Cutler brings digital media into three dimensions by combining manual sculpting processes with technological tools. Interested in “how the body engages with materiality,” Cutler often uses his own anatomy as a gestural tool to manipulate and mold his sculptural work. His first solo show at Derek Eller Gallery, New York, featured clusters of human-sized Plexiglas sheets that the artist heated and then physically entered, wrestling with the material to create anthropomorphic standing forms. In more recent work, Cutler makes artifacts of his digital life. He prints images mined from his personal computer and social media accounts onto aluminum sheets and then crushes and shapes them into dynamic sculptures.
