Artist bio: Multi media artist residing in Seattle who for the past several years has been designing and building site specific larger scale installations while creating a body of work in smaller sculpture.
Artist statement: Interested in doing larger scale public work in outdoor locations with an opportunity for participation by the community surrounding it.
About the work:
Title: Looked Good On Paper

Art form: 3-D

Medium: Concrete, steel or steel and paint

Year created: Work not created yet

Description of work: Approximately 12' tall x 5' wide paper airplane form made of concrete. Or, steel holloware 3d sculpture approximately 6-7 feet high by 12 feet in circumference.


Work statement: 1) 3d rendering of classic graffiti style in holloware. Using 2d imagery and transforming it to a 3d medium allowing for participation by the public to complete a juxtaposition by altering private work as opposed to artists altering public property. I view this as an ever evolving and changing canvas that will reflect and document the community surrounding it. Full circle, traditional 2d imagery sculpted to 3d form with final 2d applications. Or 2) a work that represents, as the title suggests, that first ideas when brought to reality may become non functional or distant from their original intent. However, through further investigation are found to be useful in their finished state for an alternate purpose.This sculpture will serve to represent this and remind us to remain malleable, improvisational, adaptable, and accepting of unintended results as we reappropriate ideas. Just because it can't leave the ground doesn't mean it isn't fly.
