Georgia Pozycinski and Joseph Pozycinski
Pozycinski Studios
"Glass suggests air and light. Bronze, weight. Bring these materials together, and one finds in the result an engaging blend of aesthetic interplay. "
Using cast glass and bronze, Georgia and Joseph Pozycinski create sculptural work that is simple yet complex, familiar yet provocative, modern yet hinting at glimpses of an ancient culture. Working together in their Missouri studio, Georgia carves the small details of the sculptures using quiet, simple tools while Joseph works with bigger strokes, wielding metal hammers and welders, running the furnaces and the hydraulic press.
The collaboration is one of technical skills and aesthetic sensibilities. Joseph's background in engineering and technology and Georgia's background in marine biology and zoology create a union of creative energies. In the Pozycinski's collaborative sculpture, you can see the artists' engagement of past with present, of organic form with inorganic medium. Their work is an expression of the timeless human need to cast itself in some lasting form of natural serene beauty.
After moving to the small town of Sparta, Missouri, in 1975, Georgia and Joseph developed their skills in wood and pottery. In 1993, they turned to metal sculpture and found bronze to be the perfect medium for their collaborative work. In 2007, they incorporated cast glass with their bronze. Their award-winning art has been exhibited at fine art and craft shows across the country.
