Artist Statement
“My major influence in my work comes from my mother, Louise Pierucci Holeman. Louise was a pioneer, professional, fiber artist in the late sixties and seventies. Sinuous repetition of form, texture, progressive rhythms, and linear abstractions are the images I was surrounded by as a child. I am drawn to natural forms: earth erosion, calcite in cave formations, wind on desert sands. Detritus of man made objects are also appealing: such as old refrigerator grates, cracks, and scratches on metal or in cement, squashed recycled cardboard. Originally the wood was used as a support or armatures for my fibers and paper. Eventually the wood became the more expressive way to define to the images in my head.
My most recent work is about eternity and time. The undulating rhythms in the forms speak to me of our mortality and the huge expanses of time that lead to one particular moment of beauty. I want the work to be beautiful, but to also have a deeper underlying place to reflect.” – Caprice Pierucci
Caprice Pierucci received her BFA from Carnegie-Mellon University and her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. She is best known for her wood wall relief works that evoke ideas of skeletons, shells and landscapes. They are inspired by her fiber and tapestry weaving background reflecting the linear repetitions of textiles. The forms are mostly curvilinear and use progressive rhythms to create movement and shadow. Her most recent work deals with the idea of natural forms developing over time. The layers and undulating rhythms in the forms speak of our mortality and the huge expanses of time that lead to one particular moment of beauty.
