The Extrusion series investigates the human impulse to impose structure upon disorder—an instinctive drive to shape the surrounding chaos into forms that appear stable, coherent, and complete. Prince approaches this theme through sculptural language, exploring how consciousness seeks to generate “perfected containers” as a means of organizing the unpredictable.
The works operate as meditations on this cognitive process: raw, fluid energies are conceptually pressed through imagined frameworks, resulting in forms that bear the tension between their unruly origins and their imposed geometries. In doing so, Extrusion examines not only the physical act of shaping but also the psychological and philosophical dimensions of humankind’s ongoing negotiation with entropy and order.
