Detail of Desire Nothing

Although the majority of Joseph Havel large-scale sculptures are made of bronze, other works incorporate clothing, pushing the boundaries of human forms and ideas surrounding production and labor. In a parallel studio practice Havel incorporates the use of shirt labels to assemble large scale monochromatic "paintings" on walls. He uses these shirt labels as a vehicle for commentary on a variety of issues of the contemporary world: the role of men in a woman's world, the role of the artist, and self-identity.
