steel, repurposed wire, rubber, leather, found objects

43 x 45 x 5”

ALL art is made within some kind of context.  That’s one of the things we love about art - the stories behind the pieces or the makers.  The fall of 2018 was traumatic time for our family.  A time which our family will refer to as ‘before and after’ for quite some time.  One of the many saving graces was keeping a healthy sense of humor.  When I got back to the studio ‘after’, I faced an unfinished piece that, luckily, had some interesting things going on in it that I might have missed, had I not been in ‘the after’.  The entire experience – ‘the during’ – was a forced paring down to essentials, a forced economy of function.  It was a great starting point for something new. 

I pay particular attention to the shadows in this piece.  In ‘The New Normal’, I consider the lines I created by crocheting wire, leather, etc. to be three-dimensional drawn lines.  They create different densities of shadows against the wall.  The shadows become a drawing of their own.
