Artist Statement

Philana Oliphant

I maintain a sense of wholeness by making drawings, sculpture, and prints. The practice evens out the rough edges of living and celebrates my awe of living.

My work reflects on loss and rejuvenation in search of ways to ameliorate life’s experiences as an individual and collectively. My aim is to conjure inspiration in people to celebrate and protect what and who is left. I have reintroduced the human figure celebrating the significance of the Individual and what One can ascertain.

Every being counts. Every effort counts.
