Sidney Hutter - Artist's Statement

           

I am a visual artist who makes 3-dimensional objects, and the beauty of my work is to be able to walk around it and experience how it reacts to light, movement and the environment. Descriptions and pictures purveyed through the means of artificial intelligence could never replace the beauty of my glass sculptures.

Art is the process or act of understanding, and therefore my work undertakes a search towards that end. The objects I create originate from the components of my personal growth, my socialization and overall education. As the ability to understand grows, so in turn does the refinement and complexity of my work.

Interests in design and architecture, and a background in glass blowing and glass fabricating form the foundation for a body of work. Some are individual pieces and some are in groups. They describe or question issues of form, space, emotion and thought. My work is of a decorative nature and at times may be considered challenging and provocative.

The pieces are unified by a continued search of my past history and future and by a concern to share my understanding with others.
