Marshall Svendsen

 My work is a response to material, experiences and the unconscious. My creative  process begins with nonlinear thinking; I begin by sculpting Primitives, forms with  individual meaning but function as interchangeable parts. As building blocks to be  rearranged, replicated, dissected and combined, the Primitives are a visual language  through which I can develop and visually formulate my unconscious thinking and  formulated conclusions. Blending organic and geometric, they tell my narrative as  well as create their own. 
The content and context of my work revolves around the human experience of 
space, the architecture of a dwelling as it relates to our bodies as dwellings. The  sculptures are rooted in the human condition. They explore how we manipulate and  adapt to our environment and emotional connections around us. I juxtapose the degradation of time on my objects with the density of material. The use of bronze  solidifies and memorializes the work into a relic, a new form that has accumulated and  revealed antiquity. The weight of my personal narrative and the depth and wonderment of  the ancient converge within these bronze forms.
