Featured Work                        "Escape"

Katherine Stanek's work explores the relationship between our environment and the human condition describing how one reflects the experiences of the other.   With her sculpture, she aspires to capture the essence of the moment when personal experience and public environment converge, resulting is a three dimensional object of beauty and complex emotions.

"Escape" 2012

This abandoned building has taken on many forms and purposes over time.  The original structure remains intact while the facade struggles to maintain its character as time literally peels away the past.  Despite our efforts for reinvention, we cannot escape the essence of who we are.  Our origins, like the past, are everlasting.  Growth comes from seeing ourselves honestly and embracing who we are as the foundation for who we are becoming.
