"Orange Anxiety"

Wood Sculpture

Created by Christine Kaiser

Anxiety begins with small things. One held in your hand or placed on a shelf is one less hiding in your heart"

Anxieties are small wooden sculptures that can stand and also have a tiny eye hook on the top of the head so they can hang.

The orange anxiety is made of carved, shaped and painted poplar wood. His arms are copper and his hair is gold colored wire. He stands on nail legs and has a face on each side. He holds a tag in his hand that identifies him as an anxiety and his number.

Each anxiety is handmade and hand painted so each is a bit different. These are tiny creatures each with its own personality.

About this Artist

Christine Kaiser

"I want my pieces to have multiple meanings and interpretations -the world is complicated and we are complicated in the world. "

In her work, Christine Kaiser creates fairy tales for the modern world and, like most folktales, the meaning isn't revealed at first glance. Inspired by dreams, animation stills, and cartoons, Kaiser roots the pieces in the world by using a classical visual esthetic.

To create each piece, wood planks are cut on a band saw, shaped on a sander, and carved with rotary and hand tools. Most of the small additional parts are not only glued, but also pegged in place and the artist hand-sands each piece to a porcelain-like finish. The pieces are painted with multiple layers of acrylic paint, often include pencil drawing, and are finished with a matte varnish.

Kaiser attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and received her BFA from Tufts University. For many years, the artist worked at a Boston Gallery repairing painted and metal sculpture. The work was very exacting and required almost obsessive attention to detail. Kaiser believes that position was where she learned many of the skills that are used in her current work.
