Artist Statement:
Statement
“I am interested in the
balance of elemental forces:
specifically, nature and
industry - man’s desire to
build and maintain while
nature moves to break down and
reclaim. Aesthetically, there
is a point where these
opposing forces reach
equilibrium. My work inhabits
this transient space.
Constructed of balanced lines,
ambient geologic textures and
organic coloration, the work
implies the passage of time on
a grand scale and is in
reverence to nature’s infinite
and subtle detail.”
Lovell’s work is
characterized by the use of
alternative materials and
process. Combinations of
metal powders, plaster, wax,
epoxy, shellac,tar and resin
are layered onto constructed
wooden surfaces and then
subjected to abrasion,
carving, and oxidation. True
green and blue hues are
derived from oxidized copper,
brass and bronze, while rusted
iron and steel produce rich
earth tones .Lovell continues
experimentation with
different materials and
techniques to achieve true
elemental color and form....
