Kasey Toomey’s work has to do with objects and the spatial and phenomenological ordering of our environment. Toomey approaches sculpture as a model to relate objects which are not present, exploring the gap between belief and disbelief which characterizes all representations, and most notably contemporary art.

In these ways, Toomey re-injects a ritualistic dimension in our environment, sardonically providing an answer to his own question: “Where has the magic gone?”.
