Dori-Ann Steinberg


I consider myself an object maker, and though I rely on the traditional compositional elements of space, light, visual movement and tension between the parts and the whole, my work is abstract and, for the most part, non-representational. My figurative work is therapeutic – a self-check of sorts, it is my connection to the roots of art and its history.

Fibonacci rules, and their natural fusion of science and art, are always in the back of my mind. I enjoy the synthesis of order and disorder (chaos), light and dark, regularity and irregularity, construction and deconstruction. This is, perhaps, what creates my desire to work in any material that finds its way into my studio. Anything is game depending on my mood. I enjoy working with materials that can evolve- malleable materials like clay and wax but also glass, metals, wood, stone, and even found objects.

My paintings evolve in a similar way as the sculpture I create—through the same sort of subliminal play process – but they emphasize the non-objective and the abstract in a different way. The nature of paint allows me to relinquish associations with the world outside of the studio and let the canvas take on its own identity, its own world.

No matter the medium, my art reflects my observation of both the natural and constructed environments I live in and visit in my travels.
