Why Blog?

Pamela DeTuncq

As a visual artist, I express my worldview through the creation of objects. I make art about the things that occupy my thoughts. I can’t sing or dance and don’t have an epic novel inside of me. Instead, I make things. My art practice is driven by a need to create physical objects that embody my personal dialog. And what I have discovered is that my internal dialog is not so different from anyone else’s. The difference is in the way these musings become manifest. When I work really hard, and the planets align, the creative effort becomes a visually compelling and thought provoking work of art.

So why blog about it? As I begin an activity I swore I would never take part in, I can only say that there is always a backstory. When I stand in front of viewers at a museum or gallery, I find myself talking about the story behind the conception of the work. The part they can’t see. The why behind a conceptual piece of art is more interesting to me than what it is, or how it’s made. The underlying content is as important as its exterior, and by sharing it, I hope to impart a greater understanding of the work itself and expand the dialog. So that’s why I’m (albeit timidly) blogging.

My creative process is pretty messy. On my workbench is the beginning of a taxidermy project about issues of vanity.

ABOUT

Through her diverse sculpture, conceptual artist Pamela DeTuncq addresses some of the more compelling zeitgeists of contemporary American culture. After years in the design industry, she now applies her skills to multi-layered sculptural work addressing such disparate themes as teen alienation, gender stereotypes, and the vicissitudes of faith.
She earned her MFA in Visual Arts from the Art Institute of Boston and BA in Graphic Design from the University of Maryland. Her work has been shown nationally, with the Dennos Museum recently adding one of her fiber installations to their permanent collection.
