FISH INNA OUTTA WATER
THE THEME IS A RESULT OF MY THOUGHTS CONCERNING INCREASED GLOBAL WARMING AFFECTING OUR STREAMS, LAKES AND OCEANS—AND—IMPACT ON FISH AND PEOPLE, ALL PEOPLE.
THE MIXED MEDIA WORK IN THIS GUEST EXHIBIT ISN’T POLITICAL, BUT MORE A CELEBRATION OF FISH IN THE WATER AND IN HUMANS’ STORIES AND ART SINCE THE BEGINNING.
KWEST
MULTI-DISCIPLINE MAKER: Jewelry Design, Fiberart, & Photographic Capture of Effect of Time. Like many artists, I'm interested in chronicling the passage of time. My eye is drawn to the effects of that passage, resulting in close-up photographs of rust and deterioration.
Additionally, working with my hands and tools, I enjoy cutting, heating, bending, texturing metals, rendering different forms of personal adornment. A recent interest has been play with powder coat to add color and drawing to my metal jewelry surface. Hands and tools also come into play with various fibers and threads in creating fiberart brooches, neckpieces and sculpture.
