Sculptor
Simone Spicer

I believe healing happens when the artist’s primary goal is to connect
with others through shared experience, story telling and wonderment at being alive here on planet Earth!

I am drawn to materials that reinforce my images and speak of our
culture and time specifically. I am continually inspired to transform
“post consumer packaging containers”, which to me, express so much
about our values, our habits, our technologies and our mastery over
nature, while conversely reminding us of our obliviousness to the
natural world and our separateness from it and from all of human
history.
I love materials; shapes, colors, textures, transparencies,
translucencies, densities, dimension and lack of, and I want an endless
supply of materials surrounding me so I always feel free to experiment.
I love multiple images and repetition of form, and variations on a
theme, and building methods that are curiously child-like and
sophisticated. I see the empty container, or vessel as a metaphor for
the self as I collaborate, this creative self, with materials that embody
the mysteries of the hands and homes of others that once held them,
and the mysteries of the science, technology, chemistry, and industries
that created them.
