David Johnson is a sculptor who uses construction materials to create objects that defy their own nature. Primarily utilizing neon and concrete, Johnson forms a synergy between both materials. The delicacy of the neon and the gritty concrete become seamlessly intertwined.
David Johnson是一个用建筑材料来对抗材料本质的雕塑家。主要运用霓虹灯和水泥，Johnson 构造两种材料的合成体。霓虹灯的脆弱和水泥的坚硬被完美地编织在一起。
Project
“Made in China”, Installation
This project, a shipping crate shaped like the state of California, points to the hilarity of slogans stating the location of authenticity of goods through global brands like Wal-Mart, Ikea, and Carrefour. Many want the surrogate American dream through Californication globally, but often do not realize the artificiality of California with its imported water, palm trees, goods, and people. The metaphoric continuation of the project (and state) is dependent upon each person placing their own Californian dreams into the crate for export.
