“At the heart of my work is a desire to magnify everyday joys through color, light, surprise and humor. I am currently creating sculptures from my early memories, which have been uniquely shaped as one of a triplet. I am exploring how seemingly simple objects become a window into a deeper subtext. The act of making them reveals their meaning—complexities I couldn’t understand at such a young age. The happiness a plain cheese sandwich brings my mom during a brief moment to herself.” — Paige Mazurek
