WRITING ABOUT MY ART

I want to start a dialogue about my art so the viewer can gain more insight into what I do and how I do it. In my work, I am trying to create a whimsical feeling with biomorphic shapes, color and value changes. Whimsy is my necessity. Europe embraces whimsy easily through public sculpture, architecture and installation. This lighthearted feeling through imagery and art lifts one out of a serious mood. Whimsy creates a feeling of poetry in one's everyday life that seems missing in the USA.

David EDGAR - Plastic Artist

David Edgar is a North American sculptor who creates a variety of sculptures from consumer-based recycled materials. The hanging lamps from his series "Plastiquarium", are called "Jellyfish Lamps", and are about 15 x 5 x 7in. Edgar creates these whimsical creatures as an antidote to our stressful culture. I relate to his colorful, playful, sea-oriented shapes. Image source: pinterest.com
