On My Sculptural Juxtapositions by Alison Weld
 

I intend each sculptural juxtaposition to stand alone, separate in its own space, precise in its formation. I clearly consider each construction yet am interested in their enigmatic simplicity. I want the works to seem complete and self-contained yet to also provoke us to speculate on the sources of their beauty and their suggestive power. Their categorical oppositions suggest new variants of conceptual art even as the glorious gaudiness of the furry fabric or pelts announce that the spirit of pop is alive. As idea driven as they are they are also sensuous, contrasting stone cold remains of life gone past with the excessively luxurious. These works are about the strangeness of existence.
