Artist: Gwynn Getto
Year: 2025
Media/Materials: Steel vintage shaving kit, gypsum cherries, pits, stems
Size: 7 × 4 × 6 inches
I see my work as conversations. I want them to be catalysts for valuation and revaluation, to be triggers for awakening the subtle and not so subtle ideas that we've assimilated but neglected to process and to expose those hidden influences to contemplation.
Basically a mixed media artist, I work in metal, wood, plastics, found objects, paper, fabric, and clay.
The cherries, at first, small, white, pearl-like, intimately representing innocence and vulnerability, entered my work in studies focused on the abuse of women and children. On the surface, we see in black and white what they represent, but between those extremes lies an infinite field of gray with its many nuances embedded in our daily perceptions of culture and reality.
Changing the size, the surface, and the materials has changed the conversation and broadened the response. There is more language in them than I could have imagined.
