Artist’s StatementUpon seeing my collection
of fossil pendants a fellow artist called me an 'organic
perfectionist'. So well put to describe one of the many contradictions
of my life. Whether with intent or not, one's art is autobiographical
expression.
The materials I
find and am drawn to are most often the inspiration for my creations.
Using them out of context is a consistent aspect of my work giving them
an ambiguity that draws the viewer's attention, questions preconceived
notions of value and suggests new meaning. The tubular mesh that has
served as the main platform for my recent work presents me with the
challenge of pursuing its versatility for further artistic expression.
As with any medium, its possibilities continue to unfold and reveal
themselves to me. Artist’s Works 3 strand pearl necklace: nylon mesh, fresh water pearls, sterling silver, copper (Photos by Paul Van Peened)
