About the Item
As part of my "Distress" series, the steel and wood work titled "Disconnect" addresses our civilizations habitual unwillingness to properly manage our environs. Outdated systems and temporary fixes as opposed to long term conservation as we all know is not working, for now, or more importantly for the future.
This piece as well as all works included in the "Distress" series articulate the dire need for help by visually broadcasting an SOS call in Morse code on the panel surface.
The natural tree limb/branch has been sealed with a rubberized coating, this action exemplifies the importance, or lack thereof, we place on maintaining our planet.

Mark Beltchenko Studio
Mark Beltchenko is a Detroit area sculptor that is highly skilled in multiple media. Equally comfortable working in stone, steel, bronze, wood and precious metals his work serves as a meditation on the good and bad in our current lives: the environment, political hypocrisy, positive growth, greed and human narcissism. Much of his work weaves layers upon another in stories through 3 dimensional pictographs. His imagery communicates in ways that are both primitive and profound; both sweeping and diminutive. Beltchenko is not a loud or verbose man but his work screams at us with dire urgency. That is not to say his work is obvious, rather, it is not. It requires effort. One must spend time with the work and breathe into it. You may not immediately recognize the discourse; however allow yourself to linger and as one lingers the layers begin to unfold and reveal its meticulous detail and dialogue. It affects and changes you. Mark has shown in museums and galleries; executed commissions for colleges, churches, corporations, casinos, and municipalities. In addition to producing his own bodies of work he has participated in visiting artist programs and workshops. Mark also creates one of a kind precious metal jewelry for which he has won numerous design awards.

- Distress series (Egyptian Blue)By Mark Beltchenko StudioLocated in Grosse Pointe Park, MI"Egyptian Blue," a poignant addition to the "Distress" series, serves as a striking commentary on our civilization's persistent failure to responsibly manage our environment. Through the use of symbolic elements and a visually compelling composition, the artwork addresses the prevalence of short-term solutions, represented by masking tape and staples, in contrast to the imperative need for long-term conservation efforts. The choice of the title, "Egyptian Blue," adds an intriguing layer of historical and cultural reference, suggesting a timeless connection to the struggles of civilizations in managing their surroundings. The piece delves into the urgency of acknowledging and addressing environmental distress, emphasizing that makeshift solutions are not sustainable, neither for the present nor for the crucial future. A distinctive feature of the artwork is the incorporation of Morse code...Category
