Deacon calls himself a “fabricator” not a “sculpture”. He uses abstract forms that are used with biomorphic and open forms, along with virtuoso engineering. He works with different scale that includes monumental sizes. He enjoys working with wood, metal and sometimes plastic. He uses these materials to portray human form with the aspect of engineering and to define the human experience through the senses and our language. While using metal, Deacon wanted to depict the inner and outer anatomy and anatomy functions. He also expresses himself by using organic shapes while having their surface congruent with their structure. His work is usually shown in a very small galleries or very large events such as a sculpture garden or dance performance.
“Master’s of the Universe” created in 2005 is made out of stainless steel. The stainless steel creates asymmetrical sausage shaped forms. These forms tilt and interconnect to form a molecule-like cluster. Each sausage link ranges in size from 1 ½ to 7 ft. If you were to stand on a certain side it would look as if it were laying flat on the surfaces it is on. But on the opposite side it looks as if it were lifted off the ground. This is not normal for large stainless steel sculptures.
