Artist Statement:
As you can see on my website:
www.johndahlsen.com
I make my art from
found objects, mainly
plastics, sometimes driftwood
and rubber, which I find on
the beaches of the eastern
Australian seaboard.
My recent work has resulted in
assemblage wall works,
sculpture, installations,
photography and public art
projects.
The work has an equally strong
environmental and purely
aesthetic concern and is a
direct reflection of
contemporary society.
I show through my work the
value of beauty, the need for
environmental awareness and
the amazing capacity we all
have to experience deep shifts
in our perception....
