VELVET DA VINCI | ||||||||
| ||||||||
Maria PhillipsARTIST'S STATEMENTMy obsession with time and the aging process has been a recurring theme in my work for the past decade. This preocupation has fueled my interest in non-traditional processes and materials in order to further examine the relationship between the natural and the man made. I incorporate non-precious metals with natural and found objects as well as elements based on industrial and anatomical forms. Manipulation and subversion of these materials results in forms saturated with tension. Repetition of elements produces mass, an outcome that can be both seductive and chaotic. Fabrication and electroforming permit the cultivation of new forms, while various surface enhancements influence the concepts of the work. Continual investigation of new processes and mediums are what compel, stimulate and challenge my creative process.VELVET DA VINCI SHOWS100 Brooches -- Brooches by U.S. and international artists based on the book, 500 Brooches 200 RINGS -- Rings from 200 International Artists Badges & Buttons Waistcoats & Vests -- Curated by Elizabeth Turrell & Robert Ebendorf COLLECT -- The New Art Fair in London for Contemporary Objects New West Coast Design: Jewelry + Metalwork West Meets West -- New Jewlery and Metalwork from Bluecoat Gallery, Liverpool, U.K. COUNTRY OF RESIDENCEUSA EDUCATIONUniversity of Washington, Seattle, WA, Master of Fine Art, 1997 Loyola University, New Orleans, LA, Bachelor of Art: Advertising and Graphic Design, 1986
