Description

Artist: Robin Przybysz
Title: African Thirst
Size: 15"h x 17"w x 17"d
Medium: Fiber Art

My fiber sculptures are based on a rhythmic and repetitive coiling process that I find meditative and inspirational. The process of coiling begins by wrapping waxed linen around a jute core to create a structure that is pulled around itself to fashion a coil. To keep its shape in place, the spiral is stitched into place after each successive wrapping. Coiling lends itself to manipulation into various patterns and shapes to create forms limited only by one’s imagination. Each of my fiber pieces is unique, differing in color, configuration and embellishment. I use dyes, pine needles, reeds, wood, beads and found objects to create one-of-a-kind sculptures.

Biography:	Robin Przybysz has been involved in the arts both in teaching art and in creating her own work. Although her early career was primarily involved with painting and drawing, she has expanded her art into textiles, weaving, sculptural gourds, basketry, and jewelry. She receives pubic and private attention with both galleries and collectors. As a professional, Robin has created her works primarily for herself. Her works come from her private world and become a gift to all who choose to walk in it. They speak of poetry and passions of all those private moments most of us seldom share, but always hold dear.
Statement:	The intimacy of the sculptural vessels goes beyond works that deal primarily with traditional craftsmanship and functional qualities associated with this art form. I love keeping the pieces more primitive, more raw, so that the work reflects my emotions without disguise. My work transcends its own history of form and function and begins to reflect the meditative process I go through in creating my work. The results are an experience of quiet ceremony.
