Artist Statement

The close bond Victoria Wenderlich shares with her twin sister is the inspiration for her fascination with identity and relationships. The endless tug-of-war between individuality and solidarity that comes with being one of a twosome inspires the lines and bodies that flow into and out of each other. Wenderlich chooses colors to convey emotion, and often employs pit firing to communicate the turbulence of struggle. Imagery from the natural world is used to explore the inner landscape of our human search for identity.
