Warm Liquid Reliquary

Drown

Additive Inverse

Artist Statement (excerpt)

Where do the images come from? I cannot possibly know. I can only know that it is my task to make them.

I use a number of methods in the process of translation. Most of these are based on Surrealist techniques- automatic writing, recording of dreams, and some techniques like grottage.

When I start to make notes for the images, they are part words and part picture. They are never brought entirely into the conscious realm. When processing the film, I use several kinds of tools to mutilate and remove some sections of emulsion. I use sandpaper and various objects to scratch the negatives before printing. In processing some of the prints, I use additional chemicals like iodine bleach, or I apply paint to them. For some of the prints, I’ve used infrared film stock.

REST IN PIECES
Limited Edition Color Photograph of original sculpture by Carol Quint
10″ x 8″ photo

Artist Statement
The foundation of my work is the exploration of archetypal imagery. The images become surrogates for a broad range of emotional experience. They are grounded in symbols that elicit recognition on a subconscious level.

Currently, I am building sculptures that are in themselves artifacts, evidence of my efforts, which are now in the past.

My process involves creating, recycling and reconstruction. The content and function of these works reflects both a sense of time past and time present, qualities that are in the nature of a relic.

Artist Statement

I paint in both a realistic and surrealistic manner. Lately, I have been doing more realistic still lives of common objects such as toys, candy, fruits and vegetables. The subjects of my more surrealistic paintings are suburban houses and gardens with unexpected juxtapositions of objects. The common thread in my painting is an emphasis on light and shadow forming rhythms and patterns.
