A general arts major at Ohio University, Ansel works with a variety of mediums. His artwork explores the relationship between classical aesthetics and the found-art recycling culture. His influences include Duchamp and Michaelangelo.
Caementum Charta Riverbox was inspired by Donegal Cliffs’ past, present and future. Once a functioning limestone quarry, the site is now a wooded area along the Scioto River – although it remains a piece of Dublin’s history. The strategic placement of this Riverbox offers future generations the discovery of a historic spot. The artist shares his message of past, present and future through his use of natural materials. The stone symbolizes the quarry’s past, while the wood represents the present. The artist states, “…my wish is that each viewer is left with an epitaph for the possibilities of our culture past, present and future.” Take a moment to reflect and pay tribute to the history, then look toward the future and all of its possibilities.
