Artist's Commentary:
"Made of plaster, gypsum, water, wood, sand, salt, and crushed gold glass, this art piece is the hungry ocean…. starving for the coast, the cliffs, the beach, the river bed. It is the whipping wind, the soft exposed driftwood, the rising sea and groundswells, the pull of the moon, the cycle of the beating briny waves, the flushing and washing and gnashing of quartz and gold into flecks and crystals and dust."
About the Artist:
Hi, I’m Erika Givens, a contemporary mixed media artist and photographer living and working in San Diego, California. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area with a fascination for drawing, creating elaborate Lego cities and towns for my Hot Wheel cars. Focused on becoming an urban planner, I graduated from UC Santa Barbara (in Environmental Studies/Political Science) but the pull toward art eventually lead me to the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. After graduating, I landed at the Nokia Design Center in Los Angeles to work as a Senior Graphic Designer for the Asia Pacific region. I later moved on to other creative pursuits at various design firms in the Bay Area. My corporate experience at the time spanned from art direction, graphic design, and copywriting, to branding, identity, exhibit, and multimedia design. Several of my projects found recognition in various publications worldwide, like I.D. Magazine, and one earned a spot in the New York Film Festival. In 2004, I got an itch to venture out of the corporate world and whip up a little fun on my own. I launched GLEAUX (pronounced *glow*), an uber-custom San Francisco-based stationery, and invitation design studio. Here I spent years of grueling but excitingly satisfying late nights masterminding and meticulously hand-assembling elaborate, out-of-the-box paper creations. Before I knew it, without ever spending a dime on advertising, a 6-page feature story in the SF Chronicle Magazine and mentions in the Oakland Tribune, InStyle, SF Magazine, 7×7, and NBC’s Today Show carried me the rest of the way. After relocating to San Diego in 2012 along with my husband Chad, and three young children, Luke, Reid, and Brooklyn, I transitioned my studio from primarily graphic design and invitations to photography, drawing, painting, and eventually the building of mixed media wall sculptures. These days, when not driving carpool, helping with homework, or camped out at youth sporting events, I find pockets of time to venture out of my suburban bubble to the outskirts of greater San Diego and far beyond. I try to seek out the unpolished, gritty, forgotten, uncultivated, and unfamiliar corners that most people typically avoid, or pass through en route to somewhere else. I like to practice the difficult but, as it turns out, extremely rewarding discipline of being QUIETLY ALONE for long periods of time. I focus on just BEING… seeing, blending, absorbing, recording. In disconnecting like this, I always find I am actually reconnecting… I more easily and earnestly notice true color, pure light, subtle smells and sounds, uninterrupted energy, and organic form. I scribble, photograph, wander, jot, touch, sketch, collect, ask, listen, taste, feel, get lost, and ultimately, after returning home to create, get found. With an unfettered determination to keep myself stimulated, senses acute, imagination fluid, eyes open, and hands dirty, I’ve managed to build a uniquely personal portfolio of artwork that has found it’s way into a distinguished gallery, several international art shows, a handful of world-class hotels (like The Bellagio in Las Vegas), and into private home collections across the globe. Whatever experience my pieces leave art lovers with, my hope is that they serve as reminders to slow down, take a side route now and then, observe the details. Wander, blend, breathe, disconnect, go from macro to micro, get a little lost once in a while… For you never know what you might notice and how it might shift your perspective just a little… just enough.
