Dina Wind

I call my welded sculptural assemblages “drawings in space.” Terms such as composition, balance and movement are very important to me in understanding the three dimensional work I create.

I comb scrap metal and junk yards to find discarded found objects and cutouts, which serve as the raw material for my creations. My objective is to transform these elements and to elevate the “junk” into a new aesthetic entity whose lines flow in space. The heavy metals I use seem decisively light and airy due to the movement of the compositon. The identity of the original found objects gives way to a new work of art, while simultaneously encouraging the observer to discover the original, familiar elements within the composition.

An element of humor is involved in the process of discovering the found objects and the “new life” they assume.
