Artist Statement 10-19-2020
Dear Glendale Art Committee,
About 25 years ago, I emerged out of a telecommunications and photography background to became a full-time artist. I enjoyed working with my hands and the ability to touch my work. I transitioned from working with rod and sheet metal to bronze castings. With the bronze, I can catch that moment that has the breath of life and the tension of motion still alive in it. Sculpting in clay and casting in bronze through the lost wax technique, I can freeze my form in all its beauty. Over time I developed a unique style to bring out an organic feeling, movement and energy, through the use of fluid lines. I have expanded my sculpting medium by incorporating carved wood. I am enjoying how the wood has a natural, graceful feeling.
In my sculptures you will notice a very diverse range of aesthetic forms from figurative fluid bronze works to abstract wire and sheet metal structures. I choose to work in different materials because I enjoy offering creative solutions to challenging problems. I work in bronze and lately a lot of steel rod and stainless steel. Each client has very specific needs and site restrictions. Being open to various sculpture materials, I have become proficient in various materials and have had successful results working with individuals in private, civic and corporate arenas.
Each project, like each client is unique. I work with you to uncover specific needs and develop an idea, often sketching and creating small model concepts to facilitate understanding. Once project parameters are agreed upon, I enter the studio and begin work, providing feedback as necessary.
Through my commissions I have gained the experience of working within different contexts. I enjoy collaborating to produce a sculpture that is one-of-a-kind and site specific. My ability to create sculpture from sheet metal, steel rod, bronze, stone, and carved wood is unique. It allows me to share my gifts of creating art in diverse styles with the public. This experience lends itself to working with corporations and civic groups to produce a project that will accentuate the lives of the people who live and work there.
–Patrick Mack
