Tumble
The series explores the idea: ”simplicity of form and complexity of relationship” - the notion that although things may appear as simple they have the capacity to develop very complex... -
Shatter
The CorTen steel outer surfaces represent “Euclidean” geometric forms, suggesting mathematical perfection to the exterior while the interior surfaces reflect breaks, tears and scars—metaphors for the human experience. The true... -
Liquid State
The Liquid State series explores an extended conversation around geometric forms morphed and softened through the applied will of the artist. The fascination by the idea that we can focus... -
Flow State
Flow State explores ideas of ego dissolution and the state of consciousness it accesses. -
Torn Steel
Jonathan Prince is fascinated by forms that have had their surfaces interrupted by a break or fracture. Broken surfaces are inherent to the properties of stone - but not of... -
Erosion
The series looks at the part that erosion plays in the formation of the earth’s surface topography and how that erosive patterns follow the laws of physics as they create... -
Turbulence
The Turbulence Series explores the ways that an external force can apply enough energy to disrupt what is seemingly perfect and organized. Each of these pieces begin with a perfected... -
Liminal
In this body of work, Prince explores quiet and mysterious in-between moments, negative spaces, and dark matter. Each three-dimensional form represents both the present, light reactant materials and the empty... -
Pixel
In the digital world smooth surfaces are actually made up of blocks called pixels that fool the eye into thinking a line is a continuous curve. This series of sculptures... -
Gel State
Scientifically - the Gel State is a non-fluid colloidal network. My work explores the idea that things we see may not be what they appear as liquid is actually solid,... -
Wave Form
Jonathan Prince’s Wave Form series captures the topography of our oceans’ surfaces and the effects that weather has upon it in the solid form of stainless steel. Prince is working... -
Fragment
A 'Fragment' is a part of something - broken off or detached. Jonathan Prince is fascinated by the reinterpretation of human-made objects, which may give information about the culture of... -
Extrusion
This series looks at the ways our consciousness tries to organize the chaos around us into a perfected container. -
States of Matter
'States of matter are the distinct forms that different phases of matter take on. Solid, liquid, gas and plasma are the most common states of matter on earth.” In this... -
Sublime
This series explores Prince’s longstanding fascination with the transcendent and the connections between what many refer to as “heaven” and earth. -
Function
'The phrase 'form follows function' was coined by architect Louis H. Sullivan in 1896 and has always remained within limits for me a design parameter that feels authentic. I also... -
Stretch
The series continues the studio’s investigation into materials behaving in unexpected ways. Stretch really refers to Young's Modulus or the Modulus of Elasticity: For example - a piece of glass...
