Logos, Brand Hello, this was a good artist statement! It's a feeling you don't hear often, yet we find ourselves saying it after reading the phrases below. The artist's statements don't have to be a source of fear (for the writer) and boredom (for the reader)! Watch some examples of the artist's powerful statements below, and below that, discuss what makes them good. Artist Andy Yoder, sculptor comments: “Many people feel very comfortable in bath towels that are the same color as soap, toilet paper, and tiles. This means that there is a link between them, and the system environment. Home is a place not only for rest, but for control. This sense of order, in whatever form it takes, acts as a shield against the unpredictability and chaos inherent in the outside world. My job is to examine the different forms this shield takes and the thinking behind it. I use household objects as common denominators of our personal environment. Editing it is a way to question the situations, fears, and unwritten rules that shaped that environment and our behavior within it.” Nancy McIntyre, silk screen artist: “I like when a place has been around long enough that there is a kind of tension between the way it was originally designed and what it looks like He has now, plus a tension between the way he looks at everyone who cares about him and the way he looks at me. The problem is that the kinds of places I find most attractive are being closed down or demolished. What do I want to say with my technician? Celebrate the human being, the marks people make in the world. Treasure the local, the small-scale, the eccentric, the ordinary: anything made of interest. Respect what people have built for themselves. Find beauty in some old, worn-out porch or chaotic human-sized storefront, while it's still standing."
