Real and imagined, unseen or unrecognized universes coexist all around us. Sea creatures live in the deep ocean; bacteria live in the body; insects make a tiny home within a home; cells form structures to make a human. A small bit stands in for the greater whole, and exists perhaps without the knowledge of the larger piece. I have an interest in biomorphic shapes, pattern and fragile beauty.

Primarily a photographer, Steve Strawn captures the perspective of a shell-shocked eyewitness to futuristic battle scenes, as robots destroy cities, terrorize dolls and smash innocent plastic civilians. The staged scenes, which contain the imaginary narratives we enact as children, transform play into reality when photographed. The proximity of this work to contemporary scenes of war is frightening, yet beautifully gruesome in its use of lighting, framing, and form. Not unlike still frames from an action film, the works become stunning documents of the way in which we learn to battle at such an early age – against our siblings, our friends or our enemies.

My work is based on a love of antique toys as viewed from a modern perspective. We are curiously drawn to relics of the past. In my artwork, I fuse this nostalgia with "visionary" art - artwork often made using scrap material and rough construction. Like these
artists, I'm not a "junk sculptor" because my focus is not on the found object itself, but on how I can use these objects to fulfill my vision. I employ this technique as a metaphor implying the bond between generations "making do" with available materials and the cultural legacy of values and ideals.

painting
These paintings are my interpretation of distinct places and experiences. They arise from a desire to capture movement and form within basic compositions and patterns, exploring the interplay between light, landscape, and natural processes.
