Artist statement: Jodie Roth Cooper pairs his background as a metalsmith with his experience in architectural design, resulting in works that strike a balance between intuitive making and digital design. Rather than tell stories with his sculptures, Jodie’s goal is to create experiences. “I hope each viewer takes ownership of my work by having their own subjective experience with it, rather than insisting that there is a right way to think or feel,” he says. “By experiencing Twisted Arch in this way, the viewer becomes my collaborator, inserting part of themselves into their experience and memory of the sculpture.”
