Using only a chisel and gauge to maintain the integrity of the original log, Mosley reworks salvaged timber into monumental abstractions. Through a process of direct carving, the artist's marks respond to and rearticulate the natural gradations of the material's surface. With influences ranging from Isamu Noguchi to Constantin Brâncusi, from Scandinavian design to West African sculpture--Mosley's \"sculptural improvisations,\" as he calls them, also take cues from the modernist traditions of jazz. \u003ci\u003eWeight in Space\u003c\/i\u003e is the most comprehensive monograph on the artist's oeuvre to date. In addition to a detailed chronology, this volume features new scholarship by Fred Moten and Catharina Manchanda, a conversation between Mosley and Hans Ulrich Obrist, and excerpts from an extensive oral history interview conducted by Bridget R. Cooks and Amanda Tewes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thaddeus Mosley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1961883260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781961883260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Karma, New York\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Thaddeus Mosley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47135446237439,"sku":"9781961883260","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d5f8ec4-1565-475b-b234-74cf22ffd962.jpg?v=1755010181","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thaddeus-mosley-thaddeus-mosley-9781961883260","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
