About the Artist:

Veronica Szalus produces site-specific installations that merge industrial design with a focus on creating environmental pieces that explore the phenomenon of physical and metaphysical transition.

Exploring the physical elements of form and space intersecting with light and with time, her artwork creates a means and expression for the transition from one state into the next. By manipulating material that is fragile, delicately balanced, and often ethereal and porous, she addresses the continual shift and precarious balance of elemental forms and the impact of the environment upon them and invites the viewer to become a witness to the grace and beauty of change.

Veronica Szalus currently produces site-specific installations that incorporate the influence of her study in industrial design and a deep interest in creating environmental pieces that explore the phenomenon of physical and metaphysical transition. Utilizing physical elements of form and space intersecting with light and with time, Veronica creates a means and expression for the transition from one state into the next. Her work demonstrates the constancy of transformative change that extends from the life of organic matter to the existence of the non-organic and that even references the earth itself. Through these concepts her work examines transition with light, which varies from minutes and hours within a day, to shape and balance that demonstrate change over days, weeks and beyond. By manipulating material that is often fragile, delicately balanced, and frequently ethereal and porous, she addresses the continual, nuanced shift and precarious balance of elemental forms and the impact of the environment upon them and allows the viewer to become a witness to the grace and beauty of change.
