New works by ceramics artist Cynthia Giachetti
"My work deals with a profound sense of loss and the potential for metamorphosis. They are reminiscent of geology and archaeology's concerns with the layering of time, place, absence, presence and process. I have an obsession with history and how related natural phenomena from the past can be revisited in the present. The artifacts and materials in my work appear to be held motionless and represent the evidence of recurring cycles that enter into our contemporary midst. My work over the past several years has dealt with human frailty, the mystery of existence and the continuum that exists between conflicting ideas, such as the cycle of life and death. I use flowers, birds, insects and domestic wares to draw upon images from different life experiences that symbolize loss, tragedy and renewal. My immediate environment always influences what I create. The intentions of these investigations is to create wondrous congeries in the hopes of re-enchanting what was once lost. I uncover, restore, pile, weave and build motifs in a repetitive, ritualistic manner and often produce work that as spiritual overtones. Art for me is both an investigative and spiritual practice."
