James Tyler’s Brickheads are profound and contemplative large-scale sculptures that engage with the world’s ceramic heritages. The processes of brickmaking and bricklaying are among humankind’s oldest and most prolific building techniques, shared by communities across time and geography. The figures themselves are androgynous and an amalgamation of ethnicities, including pre-Columbian, South American, Native American, Asian, African and Western. They stand as tributes to what is universal to mankind while considering that “culture” and our differences are actually a construct of our own making.
