Biography:

Alexander Gross is a Portland based artist graduating from Maine College of Art with a BFA degree in Woodworking and Furniture Design. Originally trained as a photographer and filmmaker in New York City, Alex is interested in relationships between technology and woodworking. Remaking space objects cures frustration with intangibility, class, and an expectation for a more hopeful future. Using coopering and mitering techniques, Alex creates scale models of rockets, rovers, and interstellar objects. Walnut, cherry, and maple replace metal surfaces, and recycled camera parts mimic the instruments used in scientific research. Redefining the physical world in the digital, and vice versa, Alex’s sculptural woodwork interrogates our faith in high technology on a dying planet.
