PENELOPE'SEROTICART

 “My artistic purpose is to enrich the journey.

To tickle the fantasy

that lies dormant in each of us, 

under the tightly woven layers of daily life. 

 

Viewing one of my finished artworks

is like looking through a keyhole,

and with every passing glance,

a different moment or a feeling is unveiled.

 

Capturing these moments

caresses our core

and in some primal way,

we become more rooted, less stressed

and the layers of our sensual self,

begin to bloom.

 

My artworks are intentionally earthy.

The "found" object in its imperfect state,

carries a feeling and a message. 

They have a deeper vibration than new

store-bought materials/trinkets/objects.

 

Weathered wood, a vintage scrap of wallpaper,

a piece of iron gate found in the tall grass,  

- each has seen life. 

 

I acquire materials and objects

because they speak to me and eventually

they play a role in the piece I am creating."
