One day last winter while walking down the aisle of one of the finest shows representing the art of the creation of contemporary craft, I was struck mad by the work of Valerie Bunnell. Her imagination and creativity is precisely why I am in the business I am in. She is currently living in western Massachusetts creating figures "that could refer to other realities, and which would possess a mysterious logic of existence". These objects develop narrative identities as they are built. Little by little they begin to speak to the artist and then to us, the viewer. In addition to the expressive personalities of these figures, Bunnell collects old tin boxes which form the body each figure in her series called "Tin Men". This link, Valerie Bunnell,will take you to her website.
