Bennett Sewell Art

My art is my way to bring to the viewer observations and ideas about the human experience; about our little bubble of personal reality.  To do this I create a statue and a story.  The statue is made of found objects, metal and wood, put together in a different way.  It’s a metaphor for us, for we create ourselves from that which we have found (learned) put together in a different way.  Each part of the statue that is  reused has utility and beauty as it did in the past.  It’s the same for the ideas that we reuse to create who we are.

The stories are written to help, to add color and complexity, and a heavy dose of humor if possible so as to produce an emotional and insightful response in the viewer.  I rotate everything around dogs, they’re the straw man because most humans relate to most dogs and most dogs relate to most humans.  And that might be what the human experience is mostly about, how we relate to each other.

So enjoy and take away that which you wish.
