Jef Biesinger

Jef Biesinger is an artist whose work references his psychological and sensory landscape, as well as cultural myths, to create sculptural games. These sculptural systems are fictional situations that probe and map the sensing body and the thinking/perceiving mind. The situations propose a paradox of the psyche for characters to attempt crossing thresholds toward a transformation. 

The work includes drawings that map narrative and form, sculptures made from cultural artifacts and fabricated materials, and videos that show the sculptures activated.

Jef Biesinger earned a Bachelor of Architecture from the California College of the Arts (RIP) and practiced as an interior architect.
