Janis Woode, "Hindsight is 2020," 2020
plate steel, wrapped copper wire, 15.5" x 4" x 12" “The desire to create art has been with me for as long as I can remember. It satisfies a kind of primal urge to construct. The winding of the figures, for me, is a very intimate experience. It is where I try to translate the emotion or movement of the piece. My inspiration has always come from personal experience. During my working years in health care, I have been witness to turbulence and tenderness. My sculptural work represents these moments. It is a sort of communication that I find hard to put into words; They are, for me, small windows into shared experiences.”“In looking back on the year 2020, on thing comes to mind, aren’t we all so glad to put it behind us. When we reminisce about this time, there will be stories of how we managed to navigate an unprecedented time in history.” Janis Woode
