"Geddis' sculptures evoke an enigmatic tension between identity and glyph, teetering between abstraction and figuration like retrofuturistic icons, reflecting his diverse cultural influences."
"The Littles series is inspired by the way children disappear into dreamy, imaginative worlds while playing with toys, feeling personal and secretive, almost like talismans."
"Geddis is currently working on a large-scale project for the Burning Man festival, where forms will exist in the clean, open environment of the playa, experienced at a different scale."
Aleph Geddis crafts wooden sculptures that embody a playful, alien quality, reflecting a tension between identity and glyph. His work, influenced by his life in Japan, Bali, and Orcas Island, allows him to adapt to diverse environments. Geddis' recent series, Littles, draws inspiration from children's imaginative play, creating personal and secretive talisman-like forms. He is also developing site-specific installations, including a large project for Burning Man, designed to interact with the expansive desert landscape, enhancing the viewer's experience of scale and environment.
