​
Lester’s work explores the unpresentable and how this is expressed in sculpture. The unpresentable is a sensation that includes the sublime, the liminal, and figural, that can’t be expressed by language or thought. It is a formless object in the mind of the viewer comprised of sensations and intensities without signification. The work explores both the use of social constructs and preobjective phenomenological experiences as means of achieving this experience with the intention that there is a figural, formal syntheses that is precognitive in both a theoretical and practical sense.
