DIANE SIKES

Statement

The objects I create recollect one’s past, submerged experiences, the real and the invented. I explore fragility and strength, the fleeting and the everlasting, the concrete and the ephemeral.

The work is a metaphor of time. Parts are illegible like memory that has lost crucial detail. The forms are marked, scarred, punctured, deconstructed, and reconstructed.
