Description

Hutchins's large scale sculptural works often include furniture, handmade ceramics, discarded clothing, paint, newsprint, and other things commonly found in the home and in an artist's studios. Through her intuitive process, Hutchins explores the connections between art and life, and how powerfully and intimately connected the two are. Her assemblages read like a visual poem. Each object is chosen to evoke emotions or memories; words like "might" serve to heighten these associations.
