Objectos Alogicos is a series of small clay sculptures created with a technique called Saggar Fired, in which organic material is fused onto clay via high-temperature gas firing that reduces the present oxygen and allows the materials to fossilize. The fossilization process is meant as a formal analog to a term in Spanish, “Alogico,” that very roughly translates into That, Which in Life, Can Not Be Reduced to Logic.
The objects, which range widely in dimension, color and media were created in the aftermath of 9-11.
Later, in 2008, photographs of the “Alogicos” objects were employed in various series of photo etchings that further examined their enigmatic, near-archeological presence and their allusion to loss and recovery.
