Sandy Huckleberry

Artist Statement:

In a current political environment in which there is enormous pressure to see in black and white, I think there is value in spending time in a world that requires infinite possibility of meanings and interpretations. Using common, mundane objects, processes and colors, I recombine them so that the meanings and purposes of the acts and objects become unclear or questionable or ripe with new meanings. Warmth and coolness are very important. The warmth of kindness and a welcoming atmosphere toward the performers and the audience members, the cool logic of an abstract point made. My work is often motivated by the feeling that we are at the end of something in our culture, that we’re all sitting around a dying fire, waiting to say goodbye.
