Sculptor Hazel Colditz Info

Description:

Hazel has been an artist and metal sculptor for over ten years. During that period, her work has changed, mirroring her own personal evolution.

The thread of continuity has been creating three dimensional sculptures using metal, rock, wood and glass.

Although Hazel’s work has changed, her motivations have not. She continually strives to create sculptures that evoke a strong feeling or emotion when viewed.

Hazel would hope & expect that such feelings and thoughts are different for each observer as a result of their own life perceptions and life experiences.

Ultimately Hazel would like to create a park where her art merges seamlessly with a functional, safe play area for children as well as blending with the surrounding environs. Children playing on sculptures that stimulate their imagination while adult observers do the same on a more visual, emotional basis she would consider a pinnacle of her efforts.

Hazel has been greatly inspired and affected by Isamu Noguchi, Maya Lin, Joseph Campbell, Gaudi and Andy Goldsworthy.
