Artist's
Bio
Lisa
& Scott Cylinder began collaborating on jewelry pieces
in 1988. They are both schooled jewelers and metalsmiths with
over twenty years experience. Best known for their production
work under the name Chickenscratch, which is shown in galleries
across the U.S. and Canada, they have also displayed their
one-of-a-kind pieces throughout the U.S.
The
ideas for their jewelry are derived from numerous sources:
nature, modern art, folklore and pop culture, to name a
few. They blend these influences into clever narratives
and play-on-words. Conceptually, their work may best be
described as a hybrid of Picasso mixed with a Hanna-Barbera
cartoon!
Technically,
their jewelry pieces are made using simple, sometimes primitive
processes. The construction of the work resembles tin toys
from the first half of the Twentieth Century. The jewelry
is intended to have a bit of a folk art appearance, rather
than the look of a traditional piece of jewelry.
Most
importantly, the work is a collaboration on many levels;
a blend of inspirations and sources; a blend of observation
and imagination; a blend of two people’s ideas and
techniques. Scott and Lisa believe their jewelry is very
accessible due to its humorous, narrative nature, and the
viewer’s need to interact with the piece for the story
to be told.
