Botanic Panic is on view through November 27th.

Working in the realm of soft sculpture, Geez’s pieces are three dimensional but maintain a kinship to two dimensional works. Some are truly free standing while others are meant to be displayed on a wall or housed in a frame even though their surface has a relief quality. These works verge on the edge of the fantastic while holding onto the familiar botanical shapes we know. Juxtaposition of hard and soft along with the use of color explore his interest in gender identities. “I like making work that plays with masculinity and femininity through the use of texture and flamboyant color.
