Engagement Ring Sculpture

Edward Ziembroski, fine art sculptor. “Art is an asset to my well-being. I’ve had a very difficult past year which has prompted a series of sculptures which I’m treating as a personal mythology. I’ve begun to create dreamlike scenes that depict real life events using images of both myself, of animals, and sometimes even furniture to represent people and events that’re going on both in reality and in my head. I often find a pervasive image that I feel compelled to sculpt. It’s rarely something immediately evident as to what these things are representational of but during the process of creating it I sit there reflecting on what the individual images could mean and in time this leads me to insights of my current state of mind and help me realize emotions and aspects of my life that I don’t think I’m consciously aware of. My primary focus is on Ceramics, It’s my comfort zone. I find that with my current work I’m falling back on what I’m most familiar with so that I’m able to convey what I feel might be common shared experiences that are hard to approach otherwise. My current work is me dealing with my family’s propensity for addiction, growing up and growing apart, dealing with loss of friends, myself, and the way that things were. Depression and suicidal ideology is very prevalent in my life and I’m just working on keeping my spirits high and trying to be supportive of those around me, I’ve found that at least for now I’m best able to do this through art.”
