Artist Statement for John Dahlsen
|
|
|
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.
