KAREN MADDEN – METAL SCULPTOR |
|
|
With the beauty of abstract art coming from the use of
shapes, forms, colors and textures, I get energy by coaxing metal into forms
that have a different look depending on which way they are viewed. My pieces
have no set boundaries which reflects complexity but yet are graceful and
thoughtful in the moment. I look to abstract art not to represent a specific
object but rather to provoke a thought. The observer will see what they want
to see – I’m only trying to get them to think about it. |
During this year’s ARTmostNY
event |
|
My
project for the ARTmostNY
open studio tour will be a sculpture in the “Around The Bend” series.
Visitors will be seeing me cutting, grinding/polishing steel in preparation
for welding together in the creation of the piece. The design will consist of
several twisting pieces that will be different colors. The challenge
will be ensuring the pieces will fit together properly (some physics and
accurate measuring needed). By the end
of Sunday, the piece will be ready for powder coating. About two weeks later,
you’ll be able to see the finished piece on Instagram, Facebook or come back
to the studio (by appointment) and see it in person. |
