    Statements </STRONG></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/about.html"><P align="justify">My sculptures were originally inspired by the form and function 
    of the sea urchin. The spines of the urchin, so dangerous yet beautiful, serve 
    as an explicit warning against contact. The alluring texture of the spines 
    draws the touch in spite of the possible consequences. The tension unveiled, 
    we feel push and pull, desire and repulsion. The sections of pencils present 
    aspects of sharp and smooth for two very different textural and aesthetic 
    experiences. Paradox and surprise are integral in my choice of materials. 
    Quantities of industrially manufactured objects are used to create flexible 
    forms reminiscent of the organic shapes of animals and nature. Pencils are 
    common objects, here, these anonymous objects become the structure. There 
    is true a fragility to the sometimes brutal aspect of the sculptures, vulnerability 
    that is belied by the fearsome texture. </P></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://www.clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif);
