Marilyn Kuksht
Artist Statement
"Creating sculpture is like capturing the energy
released from collisions of form and space. It is the sense of
emerging, converging, containment and transitioning of energy
through three dimensions that creates feeling and reaction in
the viewer; it is through control of balance, flow, tension, negative
space and implied movement that a different energy within each
sculpture is cultivated. My work incessantly explores the interaction
of spaces and forms on one another and the changing energies and
emotional impacts that result."
Marilyn Kuksht was born in Spokane, Washington (U.S.A.) in 1949.
She holds a Master of Arts Degree from the University of Washington.
Kuksht moved to San Francisco in 1986 following the course of
a business career that culminated in becoming Senior Vice President
and manager, directing over 800 employees at then the largest
financial institution in the United States, Bank of America.
In 1989 Kuksht made a dramatic change, leaving the corporate
world to focus her high energy in the world of art. Kuksht now
creates sculpture in steel and cast bronze. Her works range from
small pedestal pieces to large outdoor garden and plaza sculptures,
and appear in exhibitions and collections in Europe as well as
throughout the United States.
