I will be part of a show at the Experimental Art Gallery and Studio. The show is called Alter-A-Tions and it runs from July 3 - Aug 2. It is located at 24 New Derby Street, Salem MA. The gallery is located in Artist's Row, between Front and Derby Sts. across from The Lobster Shanty. The tel# is 781-439-1540. The opening reception is on July 11 from 4pm to 7pm. Salem is a really great city to explore and me being in a show there is just icing on the cake!
I have always been drawn to creating art from the flotsam and jetsam of the human experience. Even as a child, I enjoyed transforming the every day object into something new. Over the years I have tried to persuade my self to stay with the more traditional art materials, only to be pulled back again and again t working with found objects.
In the past few years I have been exposed to the art of cultures outside of the western experience. These cultures showed me what I have been trying to create with own work. The use of the every day object that these artists have sought to give physical form to what is invisible. The objects became the transitional zone between the known and unknown.
In those cutures the art embodies the spirit or Gods and Goddess' of their belief so the humans could make contact with the invisible and the divine. In my work the invisible is the transitory moments when we receive an epiphany about our existence. I hope my art helps to remind the viewer that every moment is sacred.
