Mary Early. American Artist, born 1975

Artist Statement

My work in the last few years has concentrated on a select few forms. I have chosen certain shapes that I use in repetition to create larger objects. For example, I have developed a hollow fluted shape constructed of wood, which I fabricate in multiples, stack, and glue to create a mass. This "mass" takes on variations; from a hoop shape resembling a skirt, to a dense circular ring resting on the floor, to an arch beginning at floor level and rising up to barely meet the wall. The sculptures can incorporate from a few dozen to over a thousand components, each component made up of its own multiple parts.
