tape + wire sculptures, diagrams by robert stratithe elevationists is currently on exhibit at manhattan born artist statement the elevationists is a an exhibit inspired by the idea of great thinkers  who contemplated flight, space and documenting the invisible  in attempts to move beyond our everyday reality. 

the balloon pieces entitled "hover" are a way of accessing flight, empty space  and creating form in usually inaccessible areas - drawing the viewer's eye upward  and into a space generally ignored because there is often nothing there.
the diagrams explore the underlying language used in documenting ideas in schematic forms - encouraging the viewer to access that way of seeing and thinking - both abstract and analytical.+ thanks, rob!
