ART WORK AND SCULPTURES | dots-all-folks

Karen Hoyer: Artwork

Every once in a while I'm inspired to create a sculpture, a drawing, a fabric collage... Here are some examples...

The phrases were collected by requesting anonymous suggestions via email and internet sites.

The Descent of Man appearing in 1871
as a blood-born German Empire
ceded Alsace-Lorraine from the humiliated French

these hundreds of pages
mostly common sense
that Keats got right about poetry...
“striking the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts,
and appear almost a remembrance”

read the words, turn the pages
see the face of truth

Mixed Media Sculpture
Created for a curated exhibit called “Enemies” at St. James Cathedral, Chicago

The sculpture is created in the style of a theatrical mask made of paper mache molded over a clay form. This mask however was split vertically down the middle of the face, revealing that the inside of the head is composed of dozens of miniature spools of thread. The multicolored strands are strung with type written messages containing phrases we carry in our heads but hopefully never utter.
