OKULICK ADDRESSES THE GRID
New too is the artist's focus on a metal grid which functions as a structural anchor for many of the pieces.
With the grid the artist references "lines of communication," and technology with its ever-evolving nature.
Like the transformation in communications, Okulick transforms his materials.
He cuts lines into flat surfaces, he breaks shapes that would otherwise have remained solid units, he curves ribbons of wood--a material not known for its bending, twisting qualities--in surprising fashion he bends up a corner creating a shape almost bone-like in appearance.
