Artist Statement

Ten years ago I became fascinated with concrete and began experimenting with it. During this same time, my husband and I began making kinetic sculptures from reclaimed metal circles. I use concrete, stone, sandblasted glass and vintage marbles to create small wall sculptures. As a young child, I was given my grandfather’s childhood marbles which began a lifelong fascination. I especially love the faded colors and patterns of wear on old clay marbles and the beautiful collage effect that is created when they are beside each other. I’ve collected stones most of my life. I love the way the ocean softens their edges and leaves them glowing at the shoreline. I wander the beaches of the cape and islands looking for perfect stones to incorporate into my work. I’m intrigued by the varied colors and textures of schist stone that’s quarried in western Mass and love to recycle leftover bits into my sculptures.

Opening Reception from 5-7pm on Arts Night Out.
