SUMMARY:Art Walk in the Claremont Village
DESCRIPTION:First Saturday Art Walk in the Claremont Village\n\n\n\nStart your evening at the Claremont Chamber Gallery & visit art exhibits found throughout the downtown area\, participating Village businesses & organizations vary month to month.\n\n\n\nWorks by Melanie \n\nExhibit: Piece of The Poet: Preview \n\n\n\n(Image Credit) Melanie Walden\, Tamar's Tell\, Cyanotype Print and Thread on Fabric\, 2025.\n\n\n\n\n\nBIO\n\nExcavator and artifact maker.  Melanie aims to extract expressions of every sensory form into visual artifacts.  Mediums such as garments\, photographs\, writings\, prints\, and found objects are some of the tools she uses to interpret the dialogue of her creativity.\n\nBeing brought up by very creative and musically talented parents\, Melanie was surrounded by the conceptual and operational process daily.  In early childhood her parents ran and operated a wooden toy business. Some of her earliest and fondest memories were traveling to different craft trade shows.  \n\nRefining a creative innateness brought Melanie down an unconventional higher education path which lead her to London\, England where she studied Artifact at Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design. From that point until now Melanie has shown artwork in galleries\, published writings\, and even started her own business\, Curated Chronicles\, Inc. which she ran from 2020-2022.\n\nCurrently\, she works and resides in Southern California.\n\n \n\nARTIST STATEMENT\n\n \n\nCreative process and tactile work are the driving forces that ignite curiosity in exploring my own mind. An introspective navigation in search for memories and experiences that generate a palette of psychological materials in which my hands and eyes manifest into physical form.\n\nArt and the creative process can mean a vast variety of things to individuals. I create because I feel purposeful in my own body when I do. The process of my work belongs to me and the release of "finished" work\, surrenders that belonging. It's a shared experience that\, in my hopes\, will resonate with someone\, and activate or reactivate\, affirm or reaffirm their own value in creating\; whether for the world to see or for their eyes only.\n\nManifesting and making is what I know. It's what swells as confidence in my eager hands. My aim in making isn't to conform to a trend or to be accepted\, rather to experiment and create without constraint\; to learn knew skills and broaden my wake. For one day all will sink beneath the surface and it's my hope for the artifacts I've left behind\, to be found and continue the sentient intention in which they were created to be.
