Justin M Zielke Opening Art Reception

Opening Art Reception for Justin M Zielke at Sylvester and Co. in Savannah partnering with Master Solutions Framing, Service Brewery, Southern Pine sustainable wood, and Aint-Bad publication.

We use memories to construct our identities, to fathom our pasts, and to create our idealized future selves. The ambiguous nature of memory necessitates that this construct is but a memorial to a transient self, but at the moment of creation, our thoughts become a mark of permanence – a symbolic language deciphering the artist’s identity in a moment of action. My work is an exploration of this symbolic language, using a personal syntax, grammar, and physical toolset to describe the relation between mark making and identity in a moment of creation. Through this process, my work explores a personal philosophy and speaks to the ancestry implied within the marks of the medium.
