Pamela Soldwedel has a spiritual connection with stone. She is inspired by its ancient life history. It was once very much alive, and the artist's goal is to revitalize its massive strength in her abstract sculpture, through transforming the seemingly immutable material into soft forms with supple movements.

Soldwedel abstract metal and bronze sculpture captures the movement of the waters in her flowing forms. Sleekly patinated or mirror finishes, intensified by the rough contrast of her carefully tooled striations, express wind-ruffled ocean surfaces, churning ocean depths, and foam flecked waves.

Pamela Soldwedel's sculptures have evolved into fresh new dimensions with her mixed media abstractions...joinings of layered stone and metal, plastics, glass and wood bring a multitude of expressions to her creations.

Pamela Soldwedel has a spiritual connection with stone. She is inspired by its ancient life history. It was once very much alive, and the artist's goal is to revitalize its massive strength in her abstract sculpture, through transforming the seemingly immutable material into soft forms with supple movements.

She is fascinated by the way in which she can express her feelings working with the stones' color, texture and grain to create her abstract stone sculptures.

She labors, lovingly, her chisel biting into the rocky earth-flesh, to transmit her messages, enthralled by the ever-changing sight, sound, touch and smell of stone.

Pamela Soldwedel's sculptures have evolved into fresh new dimensions with her mixed media abstractions...joinings of layered stone and metal, plastics, glass and wood bring a multitude of expressions to her creations.

For the viewer, something different and fascinating is presented from every angle and every change of light, especially so due to the sculptor's intriguing use of sinuous shapes in her abstract sculptures.

These mixed media sculpture abstractions capture adventurous essences of nature. Lyrical in movement, they are well composed and as beautifully finished as fine jewelry. Each piece gives delight to the eye and touch, and seems imbued with a life of its own. Delicately poised on a minute footprint, there is a sense of tension...there's mystery...there's surprise.
