Cindy Efinger
Artist Statement
Cindy Efinger's artistic journey defies classification. She has been a photographer, builder, designer, carver, painter, gardener, and landscape artist. She has grown accustomed to the tools and techniques that help transform silver, wood, plant life, paints, dyes as well as stone, ceramic, fabrics, glass and plastics. Each of these varied explorations are now revived as she discovers how to interact with each of them in their own way, and in her own way.
Today the pliability and adaptability of each of these mediums and materials inform her vision, as she borrows from one to enhance another. In both two dimensional and 3 dimensional worlds, Cindy responds to the abstract forms inside her imagination and infuses these materials to create a concrete representation or suggestions of what she sees.
Cindy's newest exploration with glass and tile mosaics now bleeds into her sculptures based on gourds, glass, and wood.
