Artist Statement – Regina Marie Ewer
My path into sculpture did not begin in an art school or a formal studio setting. It began through apprenticeship, repetition, and decades of working directly with metal. I learned my craft at the jewelry bench, that foundation shaped the way I see, think, and work with metals long before sculpture entered my life.
In 2005, a colleague invited me to experiment in their welding shop. What started as curiosity quickly revealed itself as a natural extension of my voice. One of my early jewelry designs, the Fuchsia Blossom pendant, became the catalyst for my first large-scale sculpture. Translating something meant to be worn on the body into something that could occupy space unlocked for me, a new way of thinking about line, movement, and form.
My earliest sculptures were raw and exploratory, but they carried a familiar language: the flowing lines and organic rhythms that had defined my jewelry work for years. Welding was not foreign to me, it was simply bigger, heavier, and more demanding. Steel has its own temperament. As I watched it fuse, bend, and hold, I learned quickly. Before long, it felt as though I was drawing in space and painting with metal. I was hooked.
I work with minimal tools by choice. Hand-bending steel keeps me physically connected to each piece. Every curve, twist, and intersection is felt and negotiated, not forced. I begin with only a loose idea, a sense of scale or density, and then ultimately, I allow the work to lead. The process is intuitive and responsive, shaped by a dialogue between me and the material. This way of working mirrors how I create jewelry, just expanded into space.
Between the Lines explores movement, energy, and the quiet tension between structure and openness. Negative space is as important as steel itself; it gives the work its breath and rhythm. The sculptures in this exhibition of wall-mounted forms and tabletop abstractions share a common language of line and flow. Together, they invite the viewer to slow down, look closely, and experience what emerges not just in the metal, but in the spaces in between.
