Pat Stephens / visual artist

My sculptural work explores the relationship between materiality and the environment. I create sculptural forms that explore how objects can carry the traces of time and the human presence. Through cutting, assembling, and layering materials, I create work that exists between abstraction and architecture. Finished designs are then created in welded steel, ceramics,

and found objects. I am interested in

them as a physical record of experience,

where they communicate ideas about time,

place, and transformation.
