Melissa Christiano
_______________________________ ____________________________
My assemblages contain intense distilled images, objects, and surfaces that
create a confrontation between past and present. They are affirmations of
serenity, recollection and enchantment as well as wake up calls to the reality of
our present lives. I incorporate found objects, worn man-made tools, animal
bones and natural science in an attempt to achieve timelessness in each
construction.
I conduct singular experiments from fragments and scraps that make up our
world. Through the use of natural and man-made objects I push objects to a
point where they lose their reference only to carry on new references. These
assemblages function as a type of sealed up mausoleums which have a way of
shifting ones focus from the outer world phenomena into inward reflections
about oneself and ones place in the outer world....
