Artist Statement
Steven Wood’s practice explores a spiritual process of making. Often combining technology with traditional sculptural methods and materials, Wood’s work touches on themes of surrealism, memory, trauma, and the human condition.
An immersion in materials, and processes of creation, deconstruction, and reconstruction are central to this practice. Though the work often stems from personal experience and emotion, the pieces test the balance between the traditional and the contemporary, and the viewer is invited to make their own connections with the finished product.
On Social Media, Steve shows his work as gelignite art.
