ARTIST STATEMENT

“If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, I will answer you: ‘I am here to live out loud.’” – Emile Zola

“As I continue to explore and create from a world of recycled materials I remain excited about and challenged with each new piece.”

ARTIST BIO

Carolyn Machado has exhibited at the Festival of Arts for over twenty-five years. She creates her assemblage pieces with recycled materials, collected and carefully curated over the years. She creates vignettes by laying out, moving around and assembling the pieces until she finds a formation that speaks to her. She is drawn to materials that are naturally aged with imperfections and to the Asian aesthetic, focusing on simple lines and design.
