Ev Stone

I studied at the Otis Art Institute / Parsons School of Design in Los Angeles and received my BFA in sculpture at the Kansas City Art Institute in Missouri. I currently live in Jersey City, New Jersey.

I try to build in the simplest and intuitive manner, using as little technology as possible. In the process, I am still trying to elevate these found objects to an ordered, ordained, and iconic status. This transformation of the 'mundane' to the 'aesthetic' is fundamental to understanding these pieces.

Within these structures and collages, I look to find a balance between the tribal or primitive and the man-made or technological, and perhaps between the spiritual and the intellectual. I create spaces to reflect and consider.

The collages are reflections of over-stimulus, an all-over explosion to the senses of the too much, too fast media. Responding to the overload of visual information, I recombine the iconic images from common magazines in a rhythmic way that makes more sense to me, creating a unique recycled object from a mass-produced image.
