Artist Statement: Jack Bordnick

My sculptural imagery is a reflection of my past and present forces and the imagination of my life’s stories. They represent an evolutionary process of these ideas and how that all of life’s forces are interconnected, embraced and expressed thru creative art forms. My works represent what I have accomplished with this art form. I call it my quantum and metaphoric moment, the changing from one form to another. They express and implement my thoughts and feelings, regarding taking risks, without any guarantee of their success and to be reflected in these present works, is my goal. The predominate imagery deals mostly with faces of both living and non-living beings and things. They are expressed in these many forms and images and do speak to us in their own languages. I have been part this creative art world since I can remember, beginning as a product designer and establishing my own design business in New York, Santa Fe and Europe. These present sculptural images incorporate both surrealistic and mythological and magical imagery, fabricated in textural metallic mixed media assemblages. They are assembled, disassembled and reassembled. They’re heavily textured surfaces becoming abstractions unto themselves and I allow them to revert back to their origins, from which they came. Enjoy their stories.
