Nari Ward was born in 1963 in St. Andrews, Jamaica and he currently lives and works in New York. Ward's dramatic sculptural installations are composed of systematically collected material from his urban neighborhood. His goal is to reaveal the numerous emotions inherent within found everyday objects. Ward's works regard issues surrounding race, poverty, and consumer culture.He takes a found object out of it's usual context and considers it for its shape, color, and overall visual quality. I like the fact that he uses found object to create a completely new shape by putting them together, which is basically what we did for our second project. His works are usually on a larger scale and can be quite overpowering, which is really good in this case.
