Visiting artist Alicia Eggert will exhibit her work this month at New World School of the Arts in Ever-Present, Alicia Eggert. “Eggert’s creative practice is largely motivated by an existential pursuit to understand the linear and finite nature of human life within a seemingly infinite universe,” explained NWSA dean of visual arts, O. Gustavo Plascencia. “While she installs her work, high school and college students will have the opportunity to interact with her and learn about large scale artworks and transportation.” Alicia Eggert is an interdisciplinary artist whose work gives material form to language and time, the powerful but invisible forces that shape our perception of reality. She derives her inspiration from physics and philosophy, and her sculptures often co-opt the styles and structures of commercial signage to communicate messages that inspire reflection and wonder. Eggert creates neon signs that illuminate the way light travels across space and time, and billboards that allow Forever to appear and disappear in the fog.
