***
Call for 2012 poster artist nominations ***
Deadline Feb. 1, 2012 |
In 2011 we introduced the
7th in a series of annual fine art posters to celebrate
Art In Your Eye
|
This year our poster features the sculpture entitled
"Flow"
by Water
Street Studios scupltor Rita
Grendze |
| I think of my
art as a study of material and time. Making
sculpture from multiples of found and
manufactured objects, I often combine a hard
structure like steel with a softer, less
permanent element, such as felt or thread.
Looking for the familiar in objects, I allow
myself to be seduced by shapes and materials. I
then use a joining process that emphasizes
rhythm and the passing of time: welding hundreds
of hemispheres together, knitting dozens of yarn
cords, drawing thousands of small circles. In
each medium I’m creating patterns, but the
volume of the materials and markings is
indicative of real time passed. Within this
framework, I insert materials like spices, hand
written notes, and dried plants that use other
senses to involve the viewer, to possibly invoke
a memory.
