Immersive and destabilizing artwork. Final destination - Palo Alto - where the residents complain about their “crow problem.” What is all of the hullabaloo!?! The art is on the move, audience activated, going out into the world. The art’s journey is unknown - and journey is what it’s about. Crows are smart (possibly the smartest birds in the world), brave risk takers, collaborators, creative - make tools to achieve their goals, enjoy playing, create their own language, have facial recognition, and some believe they are magical. Boundaries and borders mean nothing to crows. Maybe within the problem of the crows lies the gift of the answers. Throughout history, crows have been seen as messengers. Technology’s ever-increasing speed and range highlights how intimate our planet truly is - and that we are all in this together. With global concerns about human migration, famine, ideological persecution, and violence, how can we work together for future peace in the world? There has never been a moment in time like this one, where we are knowledgeable and capable of the ingenuity to solve problems. If we take a moment to listen, maybe the crows have something to tell us… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551991967996-9U4GD5NYCQ41LCLZC13P/Crows+-+1.jpg Crow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551992187014-BHVNN466IH9TTEU4D3ET/Crows+-+2.jpg Crow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1547161560693-WGQPBXSJ242OWMBEVE7L/rope-bw-525x700.jpg Crow - Rope 2 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1553788711838-OG6FXVGTRXA8IHRD91BU/crow-3.jpg Crow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1547161560145-TSSLFURY89HPT1BWY889/rope-speaking-500x500.jpg Crow - Rope Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1552680766929-9WT77F2RFUO6SOKPECFM/Crow+slider+-+1.jpg Crow https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/5c12b32df950b7cf566caf7a/5c12b3c80106851b68c5b3dd/1544729443982/ Crow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1553788713376-PPND1UBSJ9XB2PTSINMO/crow-4.JPG Crow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1553788711262-LC1VP8S3R9SDREAGRMBV/crow-2.jpg Crow https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/5c12b32df950b7cf566caf7a/5c12b67e8290856042ca44e1/1544730166164/ Crow - Daytime Rider Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Sculpture is mostly contrary to drawing in which a line represents so many things honestly: speed, weight, feeling, confidence and insecurity. Drawing is portable, forever personal. Add, subtract, add, subtract. I like how direct and elemental drawing is. Imagine how many ideas and dreams, songs and novels, have come to life with a pencil! Sculpture is a more slippery and vulnerable medium due to gravity and its relationship to environment. There must be a conceptual dialogue between a location and the art that lives on it. Drawn to primitive rocks and slabs - reminders of time and cosmic energy, often rocks are a component of my work. Simplicity is tranquil, feels good. Silence can bring on heightened awareness which also feels good. I aim for these sensations in my sculpture. Often negative space is best illuminated by form and sculpture. I believe in site specific sculpture because in its best form it amplifies feeling of a place, the active discovery being a part of the journey. I’m all about that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1548801244361-RZI2AX0SEC9S7ZZDV9LX/Sculpture+-+2.jpg Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1548801249750-ISID8H228TZUU20NFH0Y/Sculpture+-+3.jpg Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1548801252123-V2QSWGC2YB3ME0AL551I/Sculpture+-+4.jpg Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551318141548-EH0QYUQQLB6VNZFZ41U0/rope-hanging-760x1024.jpg Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551318142135-BINCSTB93D84KR2VJLJF/rope-bw-768x1024.jpg Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551318143275-D2S1BWM6WS6O4WQWPFAD/rope-speaking-1024x1024.jpg Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551318143159-186URG5THSK3RNEN8UP6/rope-snake-1024x1024.jpg Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551997753210-4Q1R91NKM10ZT3MUCRIO/Sculpture+-+5.jpg Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551997753657-6ZNUE8OYZTPGMC2JJ2C3/Sculpture+6.jpg Sculpture https://sylviherrick.com/drawing daily 0.75 2019-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551997439345-LV0RQWZVD16324DF547P/Plexi+-+1+%281%29.jpg Drawings - Drawing & Sculpture What you see is what you get.

It involves forces of nature and the senses and the elements: sun, light, wind, water, movement, reflection, smell. It will never be the same, like a live performance. Like a song. It is ever changing like every moment of every day. It is different from every perspective, like each individuals experience. Relative. Relative to where you are, who you are.

If I were to freeze everything for a moment, could I capture the essence of that moment? What is a moment in isolation? Impossible - this work is only able to speak by linking to each other like a pearl necklace. Impetus: Color - the specific color - is always the central protagonist in these paintings. I try to take a meditative approach and protect fresh simplicity. Curiosity, intuition and experience lead the way. Honoring the unique qualities of the materials, playing with them and laying them out in a new way. Water, intimacy, fluids, and transparency. I’m a traveler starting from the inside of my body and extending around the world. The scale and dimensions of the canvases have a numerological relationship to my body. Even though the figure may not be evident, it is through my body that I experience the world, and the evidence of my body not the paint store is conscious. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1548734227233-YZB43O2PAKHRSDDKQIEH/12.jpg String of Pearls - Sting of Pearls I was living in Oakland and thinking about how to make something that might capture a state of being.

Rip it wide open! I love the paintings in Lascaux - all of the paint relates to the shapes of the rocks - a dance between materials and space. I ditched the stretcher bars in lieu of my fashion design sheers. I rolled out the canvas, cranked some metal, and cut out shapes of fabric. I painted on them - engrossed by the relationship to edges, the boundaries, the limits of the field. I pushed my limit of realism and abstraction - locating a space between everything “real” and imaginary. Capturing gaps between seeing and knowing - between memory and future - between symbols and experience - between emotion and beliefs. These curling and off-kilter pieces were then Velcro-ed to the wall - looking like newspaper that had been blown down the street and up against a wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1548734706175-941UALVM7HLE8Y1G9F33/012.jpg Space Behind Space - Space Behind Space Why be boxed in?

Painting someone is a devotional job. This body of work tells a story of my life, brazen libertine women who drive me to be courageous and live my life fearlessly. Gorgeous, strong, outspoken. Without art and artists - I would be lost. To open oneself to the possibility of seeing (not just “looking” at) a piece of art, requires an exchange. If you see the art, it resonates. If you cannot see it, the work just sits there, meaningless flesh and bones. But in that chance, a spontaneous and dynamic experience can happen, that humble moment of communion with art. Pure connection. “And the trouble is that if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.” -Erica Jong From a formal perspective I can get persnickety. These paintings are not portraits but inspired by images patched together from reproduced images available in the public realm. Female bodies as the repository of knowledge and power. I have painted them from the perspective of a lover not a voyeur. Erotic, yes, pornographic, no. Naked, yes, nude, no. The skin of a painting - it’s unique surface - I obsess on. The edges of the canvas I fight even though I know I need their limitations. Composition, though underrated, is critical. Negative space is full of possibility! I’d rather underkill than overkill. The palate is murky, muddy, earthy hues with a blast of cool springtime pastels.

This question is always present in my work and here I am using the open relationships between figure, horses and space. Everyone and everything resonate a vibration. Sometimes we are conscious of these vibrations and usually that leads to friendship and love of people, places, other living beings, and things. Anyone who has had contact with horses has experienced their unique powers. These paintings explore the interconnectedness of these worlds.

Thoughts. not words. Water and paint - flesh and blood. I am interested in being sensitive to sensual beauty. All paintings are persona, and all are unique since there is only one each.

If I were to freeze everything for a moment, could I capture the essence of that moment? What is a moment in isolation? Impossible - this work is only able to speak by linking to each other like a pearl necklace. Impetus: Color - the specific color - is always the central protagonist in these paintings. I try to take a meditative approach and protect fresh simplicity. Curiosity, intuition and experience lead the way. Honoring the unique qualities of the materials, playing with them and laying them out in a new way. Water, intimacy, fluids, and transparency. I’m a traveler starting from the inside of my body and extending around the world. The scale and dimensions of the canvases have a numerological relationship to my body.

Painting someone is a devotional job. This body of work tells a story of my life, brazen libertine women who drive me to be courageous and live my life fearlessly. Gorgeous, strong, outspoken. Without art and artists - I would be lost. To open oneself to the possibility of seeing (not just “looking” at) a piece of art, requires an exchange. If you see the art, it resonates. If you cannot see it, the work just sits there, meaningless flesh and bones. But in that chance, a spontaneous and dynamic experience can happen, that humble moment of communion with art. Pure connection. “And the trouble is that if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.” -Erica Jong From a formal perspective I can get persnickety. These paintings are not portraits but inspired by images patched together from reproduced images available in the public realm. Female bodies as the repository of knowledge and power. I have painted them from the perspective of a lover not a voyeur. Erotic, yes, pornographic, no. Naked, yes, nude, no. The skin of a painting - it’s unique surface - I obsess on. The edges of the canvas I fight even though I know I need their limitations. Composition, though underrated, is critical. Negative space is full of possibility! I’d rather underkill than overkill. The palate is murky, muddy, earthy hues with a blast of cool springtime pastels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551317289248-FJ78MXCINZN1UYIZYV5D/Erica-Jong-815x1024.jpg Brazen Libertines https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551317289549-86TA4R01VMUJK5PIM4XJ/Simone-de-Bouvier-1-1-826x1024.jpg Brazen Libertines https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551317289642-M884RQUB626MT0U9V2K4/Simone-de-Bouvier-2-2-813x1024.jpg Brazen Libertines https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551317290026-W387XU83FB9XVQXLKFVP/Simone-de-Bouvier-3-1-827x1024.jpg Brazen Libertines https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551317290083-X74FVT3Q6COLGEDWDLR2/Simone-de-Bouvier-4-1-813x1024.jpg Brazen Libertines https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551995922627-F1XOGZFLQT2894T5PV19/Brazen+Libertines+1.jpg Brazen Libertines https://sylviherrick.com/crow-stories daily 0.75 2019-03-28 https://sylviherrick.com/crow-stories/2019/3/28/your-crow-stories monthly 0.5 2019-06-12 https://sylviherrick.com/crow-stories/category/Crow+Stories monthly 0.5 https://sylviherrick.com/make-a-wake-gallery daily 0.75 2019-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1560361840717-NANW2DPN823J55VRESPH/make-a-wake.jpg Make A Wake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1560361677289-J1M68MDJRSIAT0V9KP96/make-a-wake1.jpg Make A Wake - MAKE a wake MAKE a wake is a time sensitive, kinetic sculptural piece.

Immersive and destabilizing artwork. Final destination - Palo Alto - where the residents complain about their “crow problem.” What is all of the hullabaloo!?! The art is on the move, audience activated, going out into the world. The art’s journey is unknown - and journey is what it’s about. Crows are smart (possibly the smartest birds in the world), brave risk takers, collaborators, creative - make tools to achieve their goals, enjoy playing, create their own language, have facial recognition, and some believe they are magical. Boundaries and borders mean nothing to crows. Maybe within the problem of the crows lies the gift of the answers. Throughout history, crows have been seen as messengers. Technology’s ever-increasing speed and range highlights how intimate our planet truly is - and that we are all in this together. With global concerns about human migration, famine, ideological persecution, and violence, how can we work together for future peace in the world? There has never been a moment in time like this one, where we are knowledgeable and capable of the ingenuity to solve problems. If we take a moment to listen, maybe the crows have something to tell us… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551991967996-9U4GD5NYCQ41LCLZC13P/Crows+-+1.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1551992187014-BHVNN466IH9TTEU4D3ET/Crows+-+2.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1553788711838-OG6FXVGTRXA8IHRD91BU/crow-3.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1552680766929-9WT77F2RFUO6SOKPECFM/Crow+slider+-+1.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1553788713376-PPND1UBSJ9XB2PTSINMO/crow-4.JPG Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1553788711262-LC1VP8S3R9SDREAGRMBV/crow-2.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1553788708581-AWI775D76G6QOUQTU2B5/crow-1.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1558372825294-N5FFLE6IOTA262V35783/crow-roof.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1553897983706-58TF0YP3279A1JXE2RO4/crow-black.png Projects - Share crow stories and/or ideas about human migration and creative compassionate ideas for our borders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c12b2df3c3a537ad264ec1c/1560361677289-J1M68MDJRSIAT0V9KP96/make-a-wake1.jpg Projects - MAKE a wake MAKE a wake is a time sensitive, kinetic sculptural piece.
