Kim Garretson
I am an assemblage artist with my work called Cocktail Twist in Palm Springs. Most of the artifacts in my assemblages are found objects. My cocktail-themed artworks are on display in bars and restaurants in Minneapolis St. Paul and Palm Springs. A new brand of Irish Whiskey is using two of my pieces for its social media campaigns.
OVER COCKTAILS!
Artist Statement
“Cocktail Volcano” imagines a dream where bubbling ‘lava’ cocktail mixers cool into different shapes and colors of cocktails. The ‘lava’ is cast in epoxy resin, which I cast in unusual shapes and cocktail colors. The four cocktails have different shapes and colored resin, and two include cocktail stirrers. Acrylic ice cubes represent the cooling of the lava into the cocktails.
