Brookhart Jonquil's work engages the immaterial world, using space, light, gravity, and mind- furtive subjects perceived only through their interaction with matter. His sculptures and installations often use glass, mirrors, water, or other optical materials to create a perceptual world that both embraces and transcends physicality. Using the visual language of illusion, these works paradoxically make us more aware of how we see, and of how we experience aspects of the world which cannot be seen. Recently, plein air painting of sky acts as a spontaneous and organic counterpoint to his highly engineered geometric compositions. The experiential soil from which these works grow includes his study of ecology and cognitive science, from both Western and Eastern perspectives, as well as activities such as martial arts, exploring wilderness, and raising his two young children. His work explores the underlying principles that create peace and dynamic resilience in living systems, whether that be a society, an ecosystem, or an individual being.
