Text Box: Wire Statement I have always been fascinated and interested in these colorful wires  and have wondered why more artists are not working  with  this material.  I see my work pushing the material in new directions.  I now make circles, shapes and wall hangings with them. I never thought this hard material would move as they do.  It is a wonder to me.  These sculptures are personal and intuitive.  They are always loosely preplanned but never resolve into my original idea.  And this, to me, is the wonder of it all.  As they take shape, and a variety of materials and colors are used, I am always excited and amazed what I have succeeded in creating.  Some of my sculptures have worlds inside their forms and some do not, but it is very interesting to me what the future in this material will push me to do.  I use many different materials…whatever the forms call for at the time…I have used buttons, rubber, paint, metal and plastic.  I am curious myself to see what journey this process of weaving will take me to. I hope you enjoy my works of art as much as I did creating them…Sandi   HOME
