About the Artist
Laura Sturtz is a versatile artist employing geometric and organic forms in her 3D artwork. Presently, she works in metals and wood. She is challenged by processes that arise in exploring various media. "Life is too short to simply focus on one area to the exclusion of all else. "
Artist Statement
My artworks are comprised primarily of recycled and reclaimed metals and wood. Many pieces hover somewhere between two and three dimensions. They are assembled from parts I have made, altered, and/or found. My works include collages, shadow sculptures, metal 'quilts', wood sculpture, and jewelry . The 'shadow sculpture' series takes the linear aspect of drawing into three dimensions.
The Austin Studio Tour is a program of Big Medium.
