ARTIST'S STATEMENT All of my art is a reflection of my impression of life as Controlled Chaos. The work from 2004 to present is also grounded in the Psychology Of The Human Experience. Controlled Chaos explores the relationship between order and chaos - and our need to create mental and physical routines, structures, and systems which help us counter the mysterious, unpredictable, and chaotic nature of the human experience. The duality of our nature, the facade which masks complex inner realities, and the awakening to the spiritual fabric of life and our own spiritual self, consititute my current focus. The discovery of our spiritual self and conceptual pieces formed around the psychology of the human experience - form two distinctly different bodies of work. One more intuitive - the other more concept based; and appropriate since we all live our life by utilizing both intuition and planning - the result of our right and left brain capabliities. MY ART MAKING MATERIALS As a mixed media artist working primarily in collage and assemblage, I work, primarily, with materials and objects that are common to our collective experience. I find it interesting to take such "ordinary" materials and objects and to transform them into something extraordinary, where the result is a work of art with lasting graphic integrity and a conceptual core. -- John Kuzich, April 2009
