Is It Really A Problem? Portraits of Artists as Art: Debra Broz video segment by Arden Durham

Work Statements:
Drawings and other works on paper:
This work is often about finding relationships between fragments: connections between words, ideas, processes and materials. Our brains innately seek out pattern and rhythm, finding links between disparate bits of material. I am interested in the significance derived from language when it is stripped of its logical context and the instinctual, intuitive process of filling gaps between the known and unknown with the connective tissue of meaning.

Modified Ceramics:
To create the Oddities I use my restoration training to modify the forms of existing objects, emulating the hand of the original craftsperson to transition one part into another.  Informed by processes like genetic mutation, DNA manipulation, grafting and symbiotic relationships, the works also reflect my love for black humor, subversion, and anomalies.
