REST IN PIECES
Limited Edition Color Photograph of original sculpture by Carol Quint

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
My work incorporates found materials, recycled wood, wire, paper mache and claystone, and illustrates objects both familiar and symbolic. Together they represent the development of a vocabulary of pieces that can interact together to create a narrative, or they can exist as separate, iconic works. This vocabulary consists of (among other things) ladders, crosses, bird’s nests and wings, bones, hearts, guitars, towers and artifacts. They are objects which illustrate the two main concerns in my work: my love of the natural world and an interest in religion and the questions it poses. In addition, I am intrigued by the mysterious meanings of objects, whether they are ordinary items, like tools, extraordinary items like weapons, or artifacts of nature, like nests and driftwood.
