ev stone

i strive to create the objects that would have filled my life if i could have stayed in that imaginary world of childhood. i try to build in the simplest manner, using as little technology as possible. in the process, i am still trying to elevate these found objects to an ordered, ordained, and iconic status. this transformation of the ‘mundane’ to the ‘aesthetic’ is fundamental to understanding these pieces. within these structures i look to find a balance between the tribal or primitive and the man-made or technological, and perhaps between the spiritual and the intellectual. i create spaces to reflect and consider. the collages are reflections of over-stimulus, an all-over explosion to the senses of the too much, too fast media. overloaded with visual information, i recombine the images in a rhythmic way that makes more sense to me, creating a unique object from a mass-produced image, and maintaining the constancy of the river flow. ev stone creates her sculptures and mixed media works in jersey sity, new jersey. she was educated at the kansas city art institute (bfa), otis art institute of parsons school of design, and purdue university. her work has been shown in museums and numerous galleries and exhibits throughout the us. ev is also a freelance curator. ev is a long-time collaborator, contributor, and all-round wonderful friend of monkey salon.
