Dmitri Hertz: Crabapple

Bitter and misshapen, perhaps the crabapple has its reasons? Dmitri Hertz has reasons—ideas and sources that inform his sculptures—but the understated eccentricity of his work is so visually compelling that I was in no hurry to interpret these forms in terms other than their own.

excerpt from “Grape Street Crits” The Service Porch 2016

Dmitri, light, both literally and literally , so you can be up in there with things. Not an absence of girth or content but the massive volume of airy thinness. “The difference between what he did (fold) and what just happens (crumple).” But why I have to care about that? Y our stuff keeps me on top of my head. Sculpture is ways of arranging air. Can there be a thick description of thin sculpture? Things that bear but don’t contain, and a thing become something to see, until you see nothing at all?
