ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2020 Submission

The accumulated residues of joys and sorrows of the past, fairy tales I read in childhood, and of course impressions and contemplation in the present combine in my work. Some pieces are serious, other nostalgic, some amusing. Many times the idea comes first - sometimes from subconsciousness like in a dream, reading and observation. Then I try to find and make the appropriate elements to express the thought. Other times if I see or find an interesting object and imagine using it as a centerpiece of some project - sometimes this works, other times the item just sits and waits for the right time. Recently also the Dark side of the Earth is coming into focus, concerns regarding the state of environment and the future. My work is 3D, framed or placed in enclosures build out of salvaged wood. I like to work with recycled materials and find it satisfying to look at the finished piece and see how sometimes a previously worthless piece of metal or wood becomes something else and unique.
