David Peniston: artist statement

     Growing up with bum ankles and not being able to play sports or do other "normal" kid stuff, I was driven to express myself in creative ways early in life. I have always loved building things and working with my hands, and there was a time when I considered myself good at drawing, but I have since focused my creative energy on music and photography.

    I mainly shoot black and white film with a myriad of lo-fi cameras.  The unpredictability of the lo-fi cameras is very important to me. The camera only captures what it wants to capture; when I click the shutter the resulting image is a compromise between what I want out of the picture and what the camera wants to capture. I try to create interesting abstract images (often multiple exposure) that make the viewer wonder what they are really looking at.    I like to think of my work as photographic remixing, taking bits and pieces of images and splicing them together all on one frame.

Revised 3-D Artist Statement with Images

Artist Statement

            The physical experience with dimensional hardwoods is a contemplative and introspective activity. Crafting objects is a visceral and provocative experience, as are the final products, which often become utilitarian pieces that present themselves in much more subconscious ways than displayed works. To process my own dispositions, I must employ studies in three-dimensional media. I make objects to learn about myself, but I present my work to others to afford them the same indulgence. The prevailing idea in my work is meditation, for true thought and reflection are in many ways not commonplace. I intend my work to provide one with chances to quiet oneself and imagine, reflect, dream, or ponder. But the base, instinctive reality of the crafted furniture piece is its utilitarian, functional presence in ones life and activity. I design and craft these works to find the art in existence.

Revised 2-D Artist Statement with Images

Artist Statement

            It is far easier to become lost in the process of imagining and crafting work than to explain it verbally. And yet, finding oneself and ones work sometimes just happens in the midst of being lost. Painting with light, or photography, is an intellectually and spiritually stimulating pursuit because its source, light, is intrinsically linked with the photograph’s final form. Light can simultaneously impact one’s vision and light-sensitive material or image sensor in a photographic device, alluring and challenging me. Always illuminating, revealing, exposing, light and its connections to the supernatural and spiritual give the making of images through the use of light dynamic significance, holding my perception captive. Although using photographic technology is now something of an oppressive, overplayed exercise, I am attracted to its meditative possibilities that so often go unemployed. Here I must mention painters like Piet Mondrian and Mark Rothko. But, photographically and conceptually, I should also reference David Maisel’s aerial photographic landscapes as influential to my visual concepts and photographic work.

Lawrence Paculan - Revised Artist Statement & Images

Self-existence has always been the focus I attempt to explore in both my 3-D and 2-D work. Being aware of our existence, life's biggest bound is time; therefore, time is what life is made out of. It's the bound that defines our individual freedom, perfection, and understand our relational attachments. All in all, my concept of time revolves around that balance of thoughts and actions motivated by current or future uncertainties. Although, there is no absolute truth to accepting a perfect identity if identity is being maintained constantly to the end of existence. We are born and we die, in between is the time that offers bounds and attachments that must be understood closely for self-perfection. My work usually renders ideas of my concept with surreal imagery as way for my audience to separate familiar forms of physical realities from the states of emotions that manifest into our spirit; which all together affect the way we maintain our identity. I feel that over the years my work aims to gather an audience that can relate to my idea of pursuing self-perfection through questions that represent absolute answers. The personal attachment rendered in my art has led me to explore self-defining questions my viewers can relate to; simply questioning their own attachment. How do you want to be remembered? If it is to make the you're "attached" loves ones proud of you, will you yourself be proud? What do you want for yourself so that you alone can be truthfully proud of yourself, as well as you're loved ones proud of you?
