Artist Statement

Live’s body of work is based on a material & process-centric practice; reusing or recycling materials to create a more sustainable art practice. They are deeply inspired by forms of nature and incorporate natural media into their work as often as possible. They find great joy in giving an object/material the chance to find a new life. Live primarily plays with textures, colors, and layers to invite the viewer into a world just slightly set aside from that which humans are most commonly used to living in.

Weaving themes of wonder and childlike fantasy alongside a deep river of emotion and sentimentality, Live connects with spirit to create these physical manifestations of energy.
