Benjamin Asam Kellogg (born 1991 in Long Island, NY) attended The Cooper Union. His work draws from the architectural and symbolic history of an elite and secretive class, borrowing from the crests, engravings, and cryptic ornamentation of facades. Kellogg applies the logic and vernacular of the semiotician, following tenuous but poetic connections between the entertainment industry, religious or occult institutions, and political organizations. Whether or not a particular connection can be proven is secondary to the kernel of truth that lies in the impulse to seek it. At the heart of this practice is a longing, or a prayer, for an essential truth that may never be told.
