Name<\/strong>: Anne Mondro<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which came first in your life, the science or the art?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art came first. My parents nurtured my creativity throughout my childhood. When I was in eighth grade, I assisted my science teacher in preparing for her anatomy class exams at a local community college in the evenings. I remember being fascinated by the anatomical specimens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which sciences relate to your art practice?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I study images and three-dimensional models of various anatomical structures to create my work. For a new series I\u2019m working on, I am drawing inspiration from botany. I have become fascinated with microscopic seed structures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What materials do you use to create your artworks?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use an assortment of thin copper-, bronze-, silver-, and gold-plated wire for my woven sculptures. Other anatomical representations of mine are created from wool and layers of colored wax. My background in jewelry and metalsmithing enables me to create a variety of metal stands and brackets for my anatomical forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artwork\/Exhibition you are most proud of:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am proud of If I can stop one heart from breaking<\/em>. It was the first more intricate representational heart that I crocheted from wire. Since I do not use a pattern, this piece was a technical accomplishment in learning how to create complex forms in wire. I created this piece in response to many years of facilitating art programs for people living with memory loss. It is full of my emotion and the emotions shared with me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which scientists and\/or artists inspire and\/or have influenced you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am drawn to the writings of Oliver Sacks. His case histories capture a person\u2019s ability to live a full life despite their neurological conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have admired Deborah Butterfield\u2019s horse sculptures for many years. Her passion for horses clearly enables her to capture such lovely sensibilities through material and form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there anything else you want to tell us?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have learned so much through making. Exploring materials, experimenting with new techniques, and perfecting my craft has led to new discoveries and insights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
