Lou Lou Pink “Passage”

From the artist:

I am a multi-disciplinary artist working primarily in sculpture, installation, and mixed media. These mediums have propelled my investigations of work, labor, and action; values and ethics; public vs. private; torment and release; violence and tenderness; and craftsmanship. My work is informed by referencing the body and places as a site where the development of experience and language resides and where it can be used as a receptacle for memory and transformation.

My personal explorations are heavily influenced by the wide variety of materials and processes I was exposed to learning growing up. My mother was a taxidermist and an industrial seamstress among other trades. I draw inspiration from working with similar materials and having an awareness that the materials themselves carry a narrative prior to my possession of them. Gathering materials ranging from animal bones, leather, horse-hair, fine fabrics and found objects is an important part of the process and creating experience to me. I take pleasure in combining found objects and materials with beeswax, clay, metal, and wood to create new forms, identities and untold stories.
Through the use of narrative, I am interested in addressing the questions and issues of expectations, boundaries and transforming an experience influenced by nature to create a visual experience.
