David Dechant Portfolio Artist Statement Online Information Associative Varyism Number 5 (Bucky Rolls Like That) Bear, tire, acrylic paint, steel, aluminum, rope, 9'(H)x21'(W)x10"(D), 2008 Associative Varyism Number 4 (The Sculpture of David) Stainless steel, bronze, Cor-ten steel, walnut, etc., 8'10"(H)x3'9"(W)x10"(D) variable, 2007 I am especially interested in creating interactions between different artworks and I call my methodology Varyism. I believe that too many artworks exist in isolation, and that they could be arranged to interact with other artworks. Purposefully showing the interconnectedness between artworks is a step toward seeing an interconnected world. Everything is dependant on everything thing else, whether in art or life. So, Varyism is my attempt to visually represent this deeper truth. varyism.com
