Artist of the Month  - August, 2010

KRISTEN BROWN

 

Kristen Brown earned her Master of Fine Arts in sculpture and has always worked with a variety of media. Having found and fallen in love with metals, she now works primarily as a silversmith and jewelry designer. Her collection of pieces on view at Jonathan Trumbull Library reflect a stage in her creative evolution which marks the beginning of her work with metals- in this case, copper wire and lead. Each work is an abstracted design of paper, thread, beeswax, and metal constructed as a three dimensional collage.

 

Kristen’s work is characterized by simple, organic shapes and the beautiful and subtle textures of the materials with which she works. Kristen draws much of her inspiration from the natural world: the desert landscapes of North Africa where she lived as a child and the natural beauty of the New England woods. Similar to the stark beauty of a delicate flower growing in a barren terrain, she loves the contrast and interplay of exquisite lines and bold organic forms.
