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.​
