The Object as Portrait

For some artists, a very important object.

Jerry DeFrese installs pieces

So many layers, so much to think about. Art that you look at that looks back at you. Planes in and on and through the wall. Framing art (recycled), framing the wall, circles within circles.

Everyone who takes the pedestrian bridges at Bergstrom passes through the energized space of Transition, a playful, colorful mosaic piece that James Talbot created under the aegis of Art in Public Places. Longtime residents will remember the mirror-mosaic unicorn that graced the entrance to Folk Toys, and one can still see the stonework arch entrance which now leads to law offices just west of the Capitol.

Today one can see the glittering intricate bead-work hangings and sculpture that Talbot makes in his home studio: His work is available for viewing at the office of Gay Fay Kelly Art. Just call 512.827.8220 to set up an appointment.

Mo Scollan Artist's Statement 2007

“Kitchen Suite” was started in 2006 as an exploration in the portrayal of everyday objects, domestic tools that we live with and use on a daily basis, that are full of a simple beauty. The isolated studies, of individual pieces initially depicted on their own, get combined with like images to create a larger whole, a transformation of inanimate objects into somethingmore abstract – domestic events that fill space inthe universe, that show us our interconnectedness, that have metaphysical validity.
