Deanna Pindell creates Public art and installation sculpture, focused on ecology and sanctuary.

Deanna Pindell`s work serves environmental functions such as raising awareness and actual remediation (ie, cleansing water, restoring habitats).

Each sculptural installation is site-specific, created as a unique response to the land and light, habitat and history, meaning and dreams of the specific location.

Deanna Pindell creates meditative and meaningful spaces.

Deanna Pindell`s Personal Statement
Ecology. Sanctuary.
Metamorphosis. Remediation.

I fuse these themes in site-specific public art, gallery installations, and sculptures. My most recent works focus on environmental remediation (such as cleansing polluted water or nurturing native plantings).

As I consider the creation of a site-specific public work, I seek to integrate science, social culture, the ecology of flora and fauna, history and visual poetry. Gallery installations offer the opportunity to explore the complexity of environmental issues, confronting ethical decisions, practical challenges, and mortal realities. The spaces which I create are meditative and thought-provoking.

Beeswax, straw, clay, paper? native plants, trees, water? steel, resins, plastics, rubber? I make use of many varied materials. Each is chosen for a specific sculpture, to express specific meanings and symbolism, as well as for the tactile, or translucent, or structural qualities.
