Jeff Bechtel
Biography
For the Big Bang catalogue, Jeff Bechtel writes, "The Monstrum is etymologically 'that which reveals' and 'that which warns.' Understanding culture as a multitude of fragments, I have presented some of these fragments in collections of an unassimilated hybrid: a monster. The monstrous body is a cultural construct and projectionsomething to be read. It signifies something other than itself, gives reason to the unexplained, signals warning, and reflects our inner fears and desires."
Jeff Bechtel earned his BFA in Sculpture from The Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland, OH.
