Artist Statement
True to my
namesake, I have always been a collector. My pockets are full of rusted
metal, twigs, broken pieces of glass, and rocks. My studio mirrors my
pockets but on a grander scale. If it speaks to me, I pick it up and save it
until the day it tells me to which piece it belongs.
My artist metaphor is one of life pieces, scattered over the planet, joining
together to tell a story. My story, their story, it doesn't matter, the
story is all the same. The pieces that I select speak of beauty, neglect,
eternity, simplicity, relations, and spirituality.
My techniques are as varied as the elements I choose. I paint, weld, solder,
and forge. I develop, learn, or invent. Whatever technique is needed to give
my discarded objects a place of honor and respect in the world which they
belong.
Raven Tata, 2000
