This third post completes the series of related posts for 2022 ART RAMBLE, “In the Balance,” with photos, quotes, and links for three more of the eleven artists* (four more of the seventeen installations*). The first post includes an overview. All three note the curator talk on October 16 and other valuable resources. Whether I post again before the final day, November 19, I intend to revisit and reflect on significant connections between the forest and the artworks!

Photos with Quotes from Artist Statements for Paul Angiolillo, Carolyn Enz Hack, Jose Trejo-Maya:

Paul Angiolillo: Family #1  (2016-2022) Hardwoods and other natural material “These two installations, “Family #1” and “Family #2,” each composed of several pieces, are meant to evoke and to celebrate the beauty and diversity of our natural environment. Arranged somewhat like totems, the shapes in Family #1 and compositions in Family #2 are distinct yet also play off each other–as healthy groups should.”( quote from Paul Angiolillo Artist Statement for Family #1 and Family #2 )

Paul Angiolillo:  Family #2 (2016-2022): Hardwoods and other natural material ” I hope that these groupings also express a sense of balance, both aesthetically and, of course, physically. Some of their shapes can also be viewed as both “taking off” and grounded–which is another kind of balance, physically and symbolically.” ( quote from Paul Angiolillo Artist Statement for Family #1 and Family #2 )

Carolyn Enz Hack Orchard Guardian (2021) Steel, stainless steel cable, lead crystal, mica, copper:“The telltale signs of human presence can be seen and felt, even in wilderness. Humans no longer need to be in proximity to impact even the most remote places. This figure is symbolic of human presence over time.” ( quote from Carolyn Enz Hack Artist Statement for Orchard Guardian) For photos of Orchard Guardian with better color and details: https://carolynenzhack.com/portfolio/orchard-guardian/

Jose Trejo-Maya Transparencies in Time; Cuahpohualli embedded in enthnopoetic language poetry (2020-2022) “These poems come from dreams and surrealist experiences while in ceremony with Chololo medicine men in the Tule River Reservation. (quote from Jose Trejo-Maya Artist Statement for Transparencies in Time)

Jose Trejo-Maya: Transparencies in Time: “These poems were created as a spark of memory and reminiscence of a time and place that no longer exists. My objective is literacy and dialogue. One pays homage to our ancestors by remembering them thus my poetry is a refraction of where I’m from.“(quote from Jose Trejo-Maya Artist Statement for Transparencies in Time)
