Patrick Marold
Sculptor

Having grown up in Colorado, with the proximity of nature always within reach, Marold creates sculptural responses to environmental relationships, urban and rural, with an almost otherworldly sensitivity to material, light and change, drawing upon the workings and iinfluences of the land and raw materials. Wood, Steel, Wind, Rope, Water and Fire play equal parts in the drama the artist creates. Both in his small scale intimate sculptures and the public installations, spanning vast areas of land (such as the ambitious Windmill Project), one quickly finds an almost immediate sense of familiarity and comfort in his work.

After successfully turning wind-generated lights into environmental sculptures in Reykjavik, Iceland in 2001, (with the support of the Fulbright Foundation and the American Embassy), the artist will install some 3000 lights to illuminate Vail Valley in Colorado for a six week period in the Spring of 2007.

A select few of the numerous grants, scholarships, commissions and museum installations that the artist has in his short career received include: Public Sculpture Commission for the Town of Vail; Colorado Council on the Arts Fellowship Award; Fulbright Fellowship Award; Dallas Museum of Art Degoyler Grant; Reykjavik Museum of Art, Iceland; Museum of Contemporary Art, Fort Collins, Colorado; Nicolayson Art Museum, Casper, WY.
