John Noestheden
b. 1945, resides in Regina, SK
Working freely between sculpture and drawing, Noestheden’s
work has strong conceptual inclinations. His overriding
concern derives from a personal need to impose order and
control while systematically discovering the consequences
of sharing either partial or total control. Beauty and control
are the unifying elements binding his art practice.
By selecting the images of Ursa Major from an astronomy
text, Noestheden surrenders control of the design of the
work to an illustration of this star grouping. The sizes
and locations of the components are laid out in the diagram.
Some control is regained through his interpretation of the
forms and their spatial relationships as implied in the
charts. Mapping the stars is an ancient practice that delivers
its own contingencies or (unpredictability), error and (im)perfection,
in the attempt to order nature.
