💫 We are in the Studio with Ian McMahon — an artist who calls himself a “material collaborator.”
Working from his studio in Newburgh, New York, McMahon pushes materials like plaster, steel, and air to their limits, creating monumental sculptures and installations that blur the line between raw labor, engineering, and art.
His process is an ongoing dialogue with materials: “I push them, they push me back.”
From inflating massive forms to spraying plaster into custom molds, his experimental methods transform everyday materials into striking structures that capture a fleeting moment in time.
In our latest In the Studio feature, we explore McMahon’s creative process, his obsession with experimentation, and how his work continues to evolve through curiosity, challenge, and discovery.
