Artist Statement for Rik Light
|
|
|
My work progresses under the idea that process has a natural evolution to product. Work is not to be simply viewed; it must be explored and experienced as a spiritual, intellectual, and environmental journey. Work that stimulates me is that which emulates an ethereal energy that engages the viewer.
An assembly of natural and societal materials generated together form a dynamic environment. Conveying energy through an incorporation of elemental and natural symbols achieves an allegory for transformation. Plants, seeds, and eggs are a personal iconography that alludes to growth, rebirth, evolution, and decay. There is a multicultural desire to understand the essence of creating objects. My work is a reflection of the need to create tools for worship, and ordinary undertakings, that are culturally aesthetic.
My ideals are based on a belief that a creative spirit fundamentally connects all things. The Conservation of Energy principle states that although energy may exist in a variety of forms and may be transformed from one type of energy to another; it can neither be created nor destroyed. Thus there must exist an original energy that ties all things together. My goal as an artist is to create objects that are harmonious to their origins, and acknowledge nature's ability to accept, adapt, and develop. Plates grind, raising mountains; water, wind, and time return them to dust. Seeds sprout, plants grow, die, and rot. While societies rise and fall, the harmony of natural process will remain.
