Artist Statement:
Denise Treizman creates immersive installations and sculptural works by blending repurposed materials, handcrafted elements, and remnants of mass consumption. She accumulates and reuses objects without a fixed intention, exploring the seduction of disposable culture while questioning its excess. Her work balances fascination and critique, transforming everyday objects into dynamic, thought-provoking compositions.
Her pieces remain fluid—what was once a finished work can later evolve into something new—as long as it remains in her hands. This ever-changing quality is at the core of her process, where everything holds the potential for reinvention. Recurring materials such as yoga balls, pool noodles, balloons, ropes, light tubes and hula-hoops—combined with handcrafted textiles and ceramics—appear and reappear throughout her work, reinforcing her signature artistic language while exploring endless possibilities.
Treizman’s vibrant use of color amplifies the playful energy of her work. Her irresistible attraction to colorful, mass-produced objects stems from her childhood. Her yearly visits to her grandparents in Miami would end in bags of bright tape and hot pink flamingo t-shirts.
As an adult, that same fascination translated to reclaiming objects from the New York City sidewalks. Treizman’s work reflects both a pull towards consumer aesthetics and a deeper inquiry into their transient nature.
