Russell Prigodich is an artist living in Maryland who has been working in higher education as a studio technician, manager, and instructor for over a decade. Shortly after moving to Maryland, he began teaching High School art, then worked as an adjunct instructor and is now the Instructional Aide II of Digital Fabrication for Art and Design at the Community College of Baltimore County. Here he explores a variety of processes and media in his studio practice. His work is influenced by quiet and wild spaces, philosophy, and the effects of objects and life on our state of Being. Process, material, and form are central to his work, informed by an expansive sculptural practice as well as his experience in construction. His interest in process and material stem in part from his ADD and Dyslexia resulting in a more tactile understanding of the world. Struggling through school with learning differences, I often had to find my own way to focus and retain information. I learned better through hands-on activities and experience. ADD develops an interest in many topics and the ability to continually and rapidly task switch which lends itself well to a studio practice exploring a great variety of materials and processes. He enjoys conversing with materials, bringing his ideas and visions to the work but allowing each process and materials physical qualities to affect the outcome of the sculpture.
