Artist Statement
Pamela Staker is a Chicago-based abstract painter and sculptor. She uses everyday materials such as wire, cardboard, spray paint, gold leaf, and screen mesh in her sculptural work, recycling them into suspended sculptural forms with surfaces entirely transformed and unrecognizable from their former state. The organic geometry of the shapes, minimal use of soft colors, and highly worked, textural surfaces will create an intriguing counterbalance to the hard materials and shapes in their Kohler Signature Store by Studio41 environment.
Commissioned Artwork—April 2022
It all began with a small 3-d Sketch.
Large-scale, three-dimensional, site-specific painting/construction.
My client requested a commission that would have the feel of the above small construction at an enlarged scale in a horizontal format. They built a niche area specifically to house the artwork. So respectful of the art! I developed several digital renderings before receiving approval. It was time to start building, and I videoed the entire process. Take a look below…
Watch me work.

ART-IN-PLACE
The Conversation
LOCATION: 5638 W. North Avenue, Chicago.
As a response to the violence epidemic in the United States, CNL Projects and Terrain Exhibitions have relaunched ART-IN-PLACE for late summer 2022. Over two years after the first iteration, ART-IN-PLACE continues its efforts to bring people together to call us to action through the experience of public art. We invite artists of any medium and experience level to respond to the current state of our country by exhibiting an original work of art or performance in public. This artwork/performance can be displayed outside a home, on a lawn, from a window visible to the public, or through an artist-formed partnership with a local business between September 1 - October 15, 2022. This collective action provides artists and community members in neighborhoods throughout the country with a sense of hope and connectivity and offers opportunities to impact change fundamental to our human rights.
