Teresa Wells, ARBS

• I am a fine artist making sculpture and drawing.
• Recently I have been making wooden structures based on the cube.
• The cube represents solidity; an ability to be relied on or depended upon.
• It is a manmade framework; a piece of architecture or a moral code.
• These constructions interplay with delicate threads, representing the intricate nature of human beings.
• Layers and fibres; emotional and physical strands; interlinked and interwoven.
• Linen threads connect to the woven fabric; drawn out little pieces of human into the framework.
• Fastenings securing pulled tight. Steel inserted into wood.
• Thread is tightly attached to steel, which fixes to wood; bolted, ridged, tensioned.
• Text is an extension of thought and being; a way of expression and communication.
• Written communication conveys who we are and what we do.
• Our moral codes are written; to pass from one generation to another.
• Newspapers; human stories; intrigue. It is natural that the words that influence me go into the work.
