Description of Work Sculpture using materials from nature
Chapter East
Company/Business Distinctive Designs by MJM
Artist Statement
There is an endless amount of inspiration throughout nature; it only takes a moment to see its real beauty. Using a variety of organic elements helps create a unique sculpture by incorporating objects that nature itself provides. I love the art of coiling Pine Needles and Sweet Grass in my work; it gives a subtle movement drawing the onlooker to a journey that is both captivating and soothing. I continue to pursue and discover new items and techniques on a regular basis to incorporate into my endeavors. The simple use of driftwood, acorn caps and strips of copper that I call “nature's treasures” are found throughout my creations. Each piece I design is handcrafted to be distinctive and bring an element of drama to enhance a wide range of decors. My appreciation and love of our Creator with all the patterns, textures and colors He gives us draws me to make unique pieces of art that will bring joy and inspiration to others.
