ARTIST INFO:

Jim Garrison
Jim Garrison earned a Bachelors of Fine Art in Sculpture from Western Michigan University in 2000. He has worked at the Alchemist Tye Studio in Kalamazoo, where he learned about bronze casting and many other things.

Jim Garrison says: "I am very interested in the way life tumbles and unfolds. There is really no certainty, except that change is unstoppable.

"I sometimes take objects that I see in nature and in society and use them as symbols for my own experiences. I tend to represent these symbols in a general and minimal way. By doing this I keep my personal experiences out and focus the viewer on a particular theme. This allows a viewer to create his or her own personal associations with the piece of art. I intend these pieces to remind a person of periods or aspects of their own lives."

2006 ADDENDUM:

This piece was featured in 2001 and was purchased by the Wickwood Inn. according
to the artist, it is based on the human figure and how it reacts to circumstances.

Jim Garrison says he is “very interested in the way life tumbles and unfolds. There is
really no certainty, except that change is unstoppable. The rate and direction of this
inevitable change is a central theme in my work.”
