Artist Statement:
For the past 20 years, I have
been making sculpture.
Incorporating many fabric
techniques, I use recycled
metal, wire, and paint, to
create sewn metal sculptures
about pollution, habitat loss,
complacency, human rights,
extinction, and many other
environmental and political
issues. My work has been part
of collaborative shows, and
one person exhibitions. I want
my work to get into peoples
psyches and keep them thinking
about the images for days,
weeks.... I feel that whenever
people think and ultimately
talk about ideas the world
changes. I maintain a cyber
gallery

Fellowship received in 1998. I
also take time every year to
work as, artist in residence,
in New Hampshire's schools.
In 1993, an accepted
collaborative
proposal submitted to Inez
McDermott,
then director of New England
College
Gallery, Henniker, NH,
resulted in a
significant change in my
direction as
an artist and the materials I
use. The
proposal gave me an
opportunity to
collaborate with another
artist, to
explore new materials, and to
exhibit
the year's work at the
gallery. The
years exploration focused on
the
tradition of ritual ...

Artist Reviews:
The Portland Phoenix
September 7 -
September 14, 2000
by Jenna Russell
"Wintje's medium, "sewn
metal," sounds like an
oxymoron, but it's an
effective, unexpected,
junk-yard method of
assemblage, scraps, and
squares of metal punched with
holes and stitched with twists
of wire. Each sculpture
approximates a simple ...
