Wynn Earl
Artist/Architect almost, Denver, CO
My work is very much about connecting to the natural world. I design through creating a narrative. I want my work to tell a story. To be whimsical. To be imaginative and to create a fantasy while feeling familiar and approachable. I love creating pieces that are occupiable and functional much the way I do in my architectural work. I think about light and shadow in my pieces and the use of color and transparency to create striking visual effects. Repetition of form, curves, spirals, symmetries, gradients of color and size, and the embodiment of movement and growth all consistently appear in my work. I consider every angle of an artwork. Every connection detail, structural element and piece of hardware must be considered and if possible made part of the illusion; part of the story and fantasy. I strive to create art that creates moments of discovery, inspires the imagination, and is intriguing and unique.
