“The specific forms of my work float on the surface of a well of memory. I create discreet objects, objects in series and installation. My preferred material is steel. In my constructions the material wears its identity through rough cut edges, visible welds and an undisguised slabness. I may combine them with wire, glass, stone, text and miscellaneous findings.
By cutting, burning and welding, experience, memory and emotion are melded into steel.”
Marianne Reim was born and raised in Germany and immigrated to Canada when she was 22. She earned her B.A. in Art and Art History at McMaster University in Hamilton and resides in Beamsville, Ontario.
She has shown her work in Canada, China, England, Holland, Italy, Japan Scotland, USA, Viet Nam and Yugoslavia, and was invited to International Sculpture Symposia in Viet Nam and China.
To make a letter, word or poem permanent, I am available to weld the text and/or transfer your photos onto sheets of steel, or in book-form. Simply e-mail me.
