The work focuses on the physical point at which an object, when standing on its own, becomes a sculpture
Working with traditional media including bronze, stone, wood, steel and aluminum, Johnson's work utilizes materials that are synonymous with strength, belying the delicate, sensuous, and sometimes weightless appearance of the sculptures themselves. Objects seem to be poised just so, however fragile in their disposition. The work focuses on the physical point at which an object, when standing on its own, becomes a sculpture. Notions of classicism abound, from bronze drapery, to polished marble as well as a kinship to wabi-sabi and mono no aware. The spirits inhabiting or occupying these objects are pushed to the forefront, often bringing into question exactly what the viewer is looking at.
