The Art of Steven Swank
My Life, My Art – –
The joy of aspiration, the humility of limit.
The creative imperatives that necessitate new insight and growth, a novel path through or around the challenge of evolution in a particulate art piece or form delights and invigorates my whole being.
The Twigsticks are 3 dimensional line drawings which cast a second image on the wall in 2 dimensions. They are recent adventures in space. Photo collage has a long history in my studio as I focus on eye movement and composition. More whimsical are the small environments composed of found objects. Some paintings are new for this show. I also present poetry as metaphor, which is a constant companion in my life.
