Depression Elevations . 2013

+ Kayne Griffin Corcoran

Knorr explores the surface of Los Angeles in Depression Elevations, a series of resin sculptures cast from impressions of city streets...The hollows of the street, however, worn by the ravages of time and human use, provide a small footprint of the city’s past. In casting from these puddles and potholes, Knorr catches history in his mold, engendering form and substance from a literal void. The resultant sculptures derive an evocative power not from their undeniably beautiful façade, but from the intimate aura of a swiftly fading past.
