Loren Eiferman
Wood Sculpture: '11v'

2019

About the Item

Eiferman invite’s you to immerse yourself in a world where transformed shapes, lines, and colors are all crafted out of nature's detritus. The inspiration for her drawings come from the botanical illustrations found within the pages of both the mysterious and cryptic 15th-century Voynich Manuscript as well as the black and white images of early 20th-century German photographer Karl Blossfeldt from his seminal book "Urformen der Kunst”. Once I have gathered these sticks and brought them back into my studio and let them rest for a period of time, I proceed to debark them and search for the inherent shapes and small forms hidden within each stick. Then the wood is cut and permanently joined into small naturally formed shapes. The open joints are then covered with homemade putty, followed by extensive sanding to achieve a seamless finish. This process of puttying and sanding is often repeated three times. It is through this slow meticulous process of joining small shapes together that each sculpture gradually takes form, bringing my original line sketch to life in three-dimensional space.”

  • Contemporary Installation Sculpture, Woven and Crocheted Videotape with Cotton
    By John Garrett
    Located in St. Louis, MO
    John Garrett was raised in southern New Mexico by parents who were both educators. They instilled in him an appreciation for the handmade with their collections of Native American arts and crafts. He moved to Claremont, California, to attend college at Claremont Men’s College (now Claremont McKenna College.) Following his desire to make things by hand, he enrolled in a weaving class taught by Marion Stewart at Scripps College in 1970. His intrigue with the tools, systems and materials involved in weaving and other textile constructions led him to take other courses with Neda Al-Hilali a year later, also at Scripps. He did graduate work at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he studied with Bernard Kester and Vasa. Garrett has exhibited throughout the United States for over thirty years in hundreds of exhibitions, as well as in Europe, Africa and Asia. Garrett has worked simultaneously with two and three-dimensional formats to create his textile forms with a variety of materials. Visually unpredictable, his work may be woven, wrapped, plaited, riveted, painted, rusted, twined, nailed, stitched or tied. With an expansive repertoire of materials, each work of art is meticulously crafted, while achieving an energetic complexity; he moves gracefully from constructing wall pieces to baskets, breathing new life into discarded objects. Currently a full time studio artist, he teaches workshops on creativity and experimental basketry at schools nationwide. He was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts fellowships in 1983 and 1995 as well as elected a Fellow of the American Craft Council in 2010.
