Lives and works in New York

Alexander May’s work centres around language, often abstracting the formal characteristics of communication, such as the shapes of letters and numbers. While in Beirut, a patch of bright orange-­‐‑red dirt caught May’s eye. Bringing some of this dirt back with him to his studio in New York, he began painting with mud. With a background in sculpture, May also makes objects that often have audio components.
