About
Silas, preferring to use his hands and basic tools, searches for their new purpose, positioning and repositioning parts until they achieve a natural union. He does not alter the form of the individual parts by processes such as bonding or welding in order to force them to fit together. His process demands that he endure the ever present possibility of collapse. Yet taking these risks is what makes the moment of connection so satisfying for the artist.
Viewing his sculptures, we are reminded of the multiple possibilities and potentialities of life and the underlying principles of rearrangement and reorganization that keep our perspectives fresh and changing.

Hasselblad Camera Concept
When Chris Brownfield gave Silas Finch a handful of old Hasselblad cameras, he said, "Make me a creature."
As it turns out, there is enough material for several creatures.
In development are an entire set of images all of which are particularly classic. What's even better is the prospect of recreating a lunar surface with the purpose of capturing it all on film, such that it may be made into some kind of music video in the future.
Not sure for what band, not sure for what song, but it's sure to be something worth watching.
Stay tuned for more installation news.
