Found Object Assemblage
I can't believe the weather here in Wisconsin this week. The temperatures have gone from 17 degrees 10 days ago, to a balmy 65 degrees today. I've swept the front porch, opened the windows and have been basking in the warm sunlight drinking my morning coffee. As I still here, dog at my feet, listening to the birds, the wind and the occasional passerby. I am thinking about what it means to be here. As in here in Wisconsin. Little by little the boxes have been unpacked. Our home in Vermont rented, our new lives in the Midwest starting to take root. Getting back into the studio after the whirlwind of graduating from VCFA and moving has been challenging, to say the least. There are still plenty of boxes that need to be unpacked. Lots of materials that need to be purged. Things that need to find their right space. My new studio is up on the 3rd floor of this old 4-square we've made home. I'm not crazy about the old paneling, but the finished attic looks out on the neighborhood and offers a quiet place to be by myself and work on my art. Opening boxes and shifting through all "the Stuff" has definitely been inspiring. I've finished a few new pieces and mended a few that were damaged in the move. There's new work on the table. My old style mixed with a new sensibility informed by 2 1/2 years of grad school. This is something I just cannot escape-the resonance of crits and reviews by my peers and faculty. The endless defense of the work you make and the "why's" associate with it. It took a long time for me to open a jar of gel medium and start working on assemblage again. Finally, I feel like I am getting my mojo back. It's not as if it really left me. More like it was taking a long nap. Winter finally breaking into Spring, has opened a mental door for me. I am excited about the months to come. So, readers, if you will allow me, I am back to provide you further musings on Art, Life and Making. I hope you have been well. It feels like it has been an eternity. I know it sounds cliche, but a new chapter has started. 2015 is going to be a fantastic year!

Using dismembered plastic parts from old dolls and other toys, artist Freya Jobbins assembles these exceedingly strange portraits of people and pop culture icons. Chances are when viewing these you fall firmly into one of two camps: the highly amused or the highly disturbed. Regardless, it’s hard to deny the incredible amount of labor that goes into each piece, from the exploration of form and the use of color to make each anatomical amalgamation. More

Lebendigkeit! Lila und Orange machen eine Show, wissen aber, wie sie für das zentrale dreidimensionale Design in den Hintergrund treten können. Alle meine Kunstwerke enthalten Upcycling-Artikel und hier finden Sie diese zusammen mit Dutzenden von Vintage-Fundstücken. Mit den Maßen 18" x 14" ist es etwas größer als meine üblichen Angebote. Die Textur spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei einem Hintergrund, der aus mehreren Schichten und Spritzern von Farbe und Wachs über mehrere Schablonendesigns unter Verwendung von Dimensionspaste besteht. In den Hintergrund sind Tyvek-Stücke eingewebt (von Ihnen wirklich in Kunstwerke verwandelt), die diesen komplizierten Hintergrund noch verstärken. Auf einer in Galerien verpackten Leinwand beträgt die Tiefe dieses Stücks 2,5 Zoll. Schauen Sie genau hin und Sie werden etwa 100 Verzierungen entdecken – sowohl alte als auch neue. Zu den Vintage-Artikeln gehören Fragmente eines Wandbehangs aus Harz, ein Spielzeugteller, verschiedene Metallgürtelteile, verschiedene Perlen, ein Halbmondanhänger, ein Knopf, eine Metallblume, Segmente eines roten Perlenkragens, eine große Strassbrosche, Metalldekor, ein gewebter Knopf, eine Halskette und Fragmente des Zifferblatts , mechanische Elemente und ein Stück eines dekorativen Harzbehälters. Zu den neueren Elementen gehören Knöpfe, Metallblätter, ein geflügeltes Herz, ein Perlenbogen, Perlen, ein Pfeil und ein runder Brennpunkt. Ein Drahtbügel ist angebracht. Da die Galerie mit Leinwand umwickelt ist und die Seiten fertig sind, ist keine Rahmung erforderlich. Abmessungen: 18,0" x 14,0" x 2,50" Gewicht: 3 Pfund. 6 Unzen Wenn Sie in der Nähe von Tulsa wohnen, können Sie dieses Stück in der Sky Gallery im Meadow Gold District finden. Alle bei Art Creations by Vicky verkauften Assemblage-Kunstwerke sind Originalwerke der Künstlerin Vicky Hensley und einzigartig. Weitere Informationen zu meinen Kreationen und dem Prozess finden Sie auf meiner Website - http://artcreationsbyvicky.com.

Geoffrey Gorman is an artist that I fell in love with the first time I laid eyes on his work. (I know, I love a lot of them don't I!) The first image of his work I remember seeing was of a cat made of sticks and wrapped in canvas, fastened together with strips of leather and screws that left rust marks in a pattern that reminded me of an ocelot. For the past couple of years I have been watching his work evolve into more and more "sophisticated" forms. I am interested to see that his work has progressed but wonder exactly how it happened and you'll see what I mean in a moment. Gorman's early works were representations of animals who were free unto themselves, exhibiting their own personalities. I was able to easily imagine them with a companion, playing in the kitchen or fantasize about seeing them wandering the desert at dusk. Then his animals began appearing on pedestals, not tall ones but they were definitely no longer free. They were fastened to a block of some kind and became objects, somehow less animated than the earlier spirits he created. Gorman then pierced them and lifted them up off the ground as if stuck on pins in an invisible specimen box to be adored and preserved like perfectly preserved specimens of museum taxidermy. I wonder if this was a conscious decision on his part or if is has just been the result of a free spirited artist attempting to conform to some gallery owners idea of what a "contemporary art sculpture" should be. Personally, I hope to see his creatures break free from the platforms, pedestals, and specimen pins and return to their wild animated state, (which they are starting to do). That was what really drew me to them in the the first place; the idea that one day I might meet up with one of his creatures quite unexpectedly on a walk in the woods...

Mixed media and installation artist Peter McFarlane has spent his life turning found objects, computer waste and other discarded materials into sculptures, installations, and even the backdrops of paintings. Of his work McFarlane says: To me, waste is just lack of imagination. This belief carries beyond the boundaries of my art production and permeates most aspects of my life. Most of my home and studio, and much of everything in them, is recycled. More
Toujours dans l'optique de faire une rétrospective de mon travail, je vous présente quelques-uns des meilleurs croquis pour un projet avorté, de jeu en ligne, auquel j'ai participé de 2006 à 2008. J'étais en charge des décors, j'avais à concevoir différents types d'architecture.

Winged elephants, multi-eared rabbits, and carrot-legged babies ready to be dipped in hummus: recent sculptures by Debra Broz (previously) continue to expand her collection of odd mashups formed from found ceramics. By carefully sourcing, separating, and re-fusing juxtaposed components of otherwise unremarkable ceramic knick-knacks, Broz forms entirely new creatures that are equal parts bizarre and humorous. The Los Angeles-based artist tells Colossal that she finds inspiration in absurdity: I think a lot of us are frequently telling ourselves that the world is this very serious place, and that our lives as adults require careful consideration—and to a degree that’s true—but we also need to take time to realize that the world is also wildly full of nonsense, and that aspects of our lives are incredibly ridiculous.

"Chisnall creates art that references such things as structure, time and Modernism as they pass through a very contemporary mindset that focuses on humor, transience, functionality and futility.” D. Dominick Lambardi, 'Repurposing With a Passion', The Huffington Post.
