Georgetown Art Attack!

Artist Statement:

I am an artist blacksmith living and working in Seattle for over 10 years. I enjoy the physical nature of hand forging metal into a natural form be it flora, fauna or figurative. My concept for this series is to have a collection of wall hanging sculptures that involve anatomical hearts. It is something we all possess and for me it is a symbol of life, strength and human emotion, many of our emotions stem from love, the emotion most commonly equated with the heart.

Elisabeth Vedrine’s current work falls into one of two series: Cambrian Explosion or Nature Under Glass. Both series have roots in her sense of the fragility and wonder of the natural world. The Cambrian Explosion refers to a period in Earth’s history when many new species of plants and animals arose in a short time period. Nature Under Glass expresses her sense that the natural world as we know it may be known to our children only through museum exhibits, separated from direct experience by a layer of glass.
