Denise Laws strives to elevate what has been discarded through arrangement and revealing hidden beauty. Everyday cast-offs are re-cast and combined into shimmering baroque futuristic topographies mirroring the agile exquisiteness of nature.
From the artist's statement: "Mylar Reveries is an ongoing body of work I have been creating for the last seven years, despite the limitations of the re-use, as an artistic medium. I am inspired, rescuing the predestined discard of mass-produced foil and mylar-lined packagings, such as Tetra-Pak, candy wrappers, and air-tight sealed product pouches. While some artists who work in precious metals and gold leaf, the remnants of our current disposable consumer culture has become my silver leaf.
My art-making process involves a quiet yet lengthy accumulation, which never ends. The surface is essential; fusing texture with emotional dialog navigates my decisions. I indulge in a journey allowing and realizing an image, motif, or landscape, often starting with organic shapes, form, and patterns."
