ARTIST: Diana Vanderhoef
TITLE: Solder Repurposed: A Sculpture
MATERIALS: Solder, electronics
DIMENSIONS: approx. 1' cube
DATE: 2007
DESCRIPTION: Solder is normally used in electronics to connect components in a rigidly defined process. But on my time I use it as a sculpting medium. Exploring the melting/freezing of metal to create shapes using only a soldering iron. For this project, the organic shapes will be part of an electronic circuit involving blinking lights.
STATEMENT: A lifelong love of miniatures and my career in electronics has led to the wonderful world of creating multi-themed solder sculptures, limited only, or perhaps embellished by, a vivid and quirky imagination.
