Mary Admasian — multidisciplinary artist and consultant for creatives
Assemblages, Sculptures, Constructed Paintings
Admasian’s series titled SCRAPS with NATURE is a collection of constructed paintings, sculptures, and assemblages, made from reclaimed wood, layered plywood, barbed wire, rusted metal, bandsaw blades, gold wire, stones, gems, glass beads, acrylic paint, and graphite. Some pieces come with markings such as the blue paint used to designate culled trees. Others have factory stamps and material imperfections.
Within these found and repurposed materials, Admasian creates art and installations defined by memory, intuition, and forces that are not controlled. Ultimately, the shape and feel of the objects inform the evolution of each piece. These relationships inspire the artist to use art as a link between nature and culture that provoke surprise and volatility. Added color and line accent and unify those found in each component.
The artist explores of balance and barriers between objects—positions and connections— geometry and architecture as well as the implicit boundaries of familial, political, and social covenants and conventions.
Admasian encourages the viewer to arrive at a place where they create their own interpretation of what is before them.
