About the Artwork
Vincent Pocsik’s practice explores the boundaries between sculpture and functional design. He draws inspiration from artists like Isamu Noguchi and Donald Judd, who insisted that objects for living could be as thoughtful, disciplined, and meaningful as those created solely for contemplation. Working primarily with walnut and oak, Pocsik merges traditional hand-carving techniques with digital fabrication to create objects that examine the relationship between the human body, urban environments, and material transformation. In Pocsik’s work, the human figure emerges through the material as an echo of lived experience; it is never fully present, yet never entirely absent. Carved limbs, textured surfaces, and contorted volumes suggest a body in flux, caught between states of being and becoming. Drawing from a diverse visual language, Pocsik’s sculptures reference both natural and built environments. Industrial artifacts are juxtaposed with organic forms such as fruit, flowers, cacti, hands, and ears, yielding hybrid compositions that evoke a surreal, anthropomorphic sensibility. These symbolic pairings reflect an ongoing inquiry into place, memory, and corporeality. Pocsik’s sculptures articulate a poetics of transformation: one that resists fixed categories and instead embraces ambiguity, hybridity, and change. The present work, Bench with Hands and Lemons, was made by Pocsik just for Headlands.
