Jacob Foran’s work blurs the lines between narrative and abstract, eloquent and absurd, dream and reality. This is the liminal space in which he feels our minds reside much of the time. For Foran outer space and underwater are metaphorical landscapes that, respectively speaking, express the forces that exist around us and therefore influence the emotion within us. In his work, technology such as rockets, space suits, and diving helmets signify a physical boundary between humanity and environment. This is a two-fold plot, since at the same time, they symbolize exploration and discovery- a curiosity for the unknown and a fascination with creation. The current work explores subjects of love, mortality, discovery and childhood. Reflective and colorful glazes suggest states of ambiguity, flux, or fleetingness in an attempt to express the fundamental characteristics of human experience.
