American Story No.1921

American Story No.1921

By Kat Flyn

Located in New Orleans, LA

KAT FLYN is a self-taught assemblage artist working presently out of San Diego. She began her career as a costume designer in Southern California. Over the years she amassed a trove of artifacts and collectables which she began using to create assemblage art in the 1990’s. In 2000 she sold her business and moved to Cuyamaca, a remote community in the mountains outside of San Diego to devote herself exclusively to her artwork. In 2003 her work was interrupted when the Cedar Fire swept through San Diego county and destroyed the forest, her home & studio along with almost all of her collections and works of art. Following the fire she relocated to San Francisco, where she spent a decade concentrating on her art in her studio in SOMA and exhibiting at galleries in the Bay Area. In 2015 she returned to San Diego and now works out of her studio in La Jolla, exhibiting there and in Los Angeles. Kat Flyn refers to herself as an Assemblage Sculptor and her works as Political Art or Protest Art. She separates herself from other assemblage artists in that she only employs “saved” as opposed to “found” objects in her work; and her pieces always have a political or cultural narrative to them rather than being surreal or abstract. She also constructs or refashions many of the pieces which she uses in her art, for example she turns a soft drink box...

"This narrative questions the storyline that the wolf was the threat; but rather the Huntsman was the predator." KAT FLYN is a self-taught assemblage artist working presently out of San Diego.

Treasure 2.7

Treasure 2.7

By Virginia Fleck

Located in Boston, MA

Artist Commentary: Aluminum can-tabs chained together with safety pins are layered, massed and attached to an MDF backing creating a dense sparkling texture. The can-tabs are reflective, glinting in the light, catching the eye of those who pass by them. These shield-like, glittering wall pieces have the presence of valuable treasure, but closer inspection reveals that the treasure is made from can-tabs, one of many common disposable items that continuously pass through our hands. Keywords: assemblage, post consumer can-tabs Details: This is a wall mounted scuplture made from post consumer can-tabs and safety pins mounted on green MDF. A hanging cleat is attached on back. signed on back. No paints are use in this piece. The can-tabs are manufactured in many colors according to thier brand.

Manifestation II

Manifestation II

By Virginia Fleck

Located in Boston, MA

Artist Commentary: This kinetic artwork is intended as a gently rotating, dimensional mandala. It has a baroque-upcycled aesthetic that playfully transcends the utility of the can-tab. Sparkling moiré patterns emerge as the artwork rotates slowly. One can experience the artwork as a sparkling, crystalline mystery from a distance, then as a familiar but incalculable marvel up close. Fun fact: it is powered by a disco ball motor Keywords: kinetic art,sensory art, suspended art, upcycled, sparkling , metal Details: A kinetic, sensory sculpture made from post-consumer can-tabs, safety pins, steel armature and ceiling mounted motor. 84"l x 44"w x 44"d x 40 lbs. rotates at 1 to 1-1/2 rpm Artist Biography: Since 2002, award winning artist Virginia Fleck...

Standing 26.5 inches tall, this meticulously crafted piece fuses vintage industrial elements, including a repurposed electrical meter as the torso, metallic coils forming the limbs, and canisters elegantly supporting the figure. The sculpture embodies a nostalgic yet futuristic aesthetic, reminiscent of early robotics and steampunk influences. David Lipson assembles robot sculptures...
