Lisa and Scott Cylinder

We began collaborating in 1988 and since then, have developed a wonderful exchange and interplay of ideas, concepts and techniques. Our influences are varied and vast; Modern Art, Scientific phenomena, 20th Century artifacts and Film play upon our ideas and how we manifest them into objects. The common thread throughout our work has been a hunger to explore, utilize and manipulate a multitude of materials. Often starting with Found Objects, we reinterpret these objects as materials, removing them from their original context. We are inextricably tied to Crafts through our overwhelming concern with materials and Handwork. With a historical reverence, our goal is to cleverly re-interpret these found parts and re-integrate them within our compositions.
