Artist Statement
This work is done with strips of ‘mild steel’. “Mild steel’ was chosen for its malleability and susceptibility to rust and corrosion, symbolic of the end state of all of the materials on the planet. Entropy (the tendency for systems and substances to become chaotic over time) always wins!
The steel was woven to form a single piece – emblematic of the many parts that form a whole and of the interconnectedness of all things. While the piece is a single unit, the individual pieces retain a sense of their individuality through their specific color or texture resulting from the application of acids and/or paint at different stages in the process of developing the work.
The tight weave shows how closely bonded we all are!
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
