Sculptures by Cynthia Minet

Cynthia Minet is the sculptor behind the Unsustainable Creatures exhibit on view at CRAFTED.  The Ox and Elephant on display at CRAFTED, all life-size sculptures, are made from post-consumer plastics, PVC and LEDs.  Cynthia Minet’s sculptures, drawings and installations stem from her interests in scientific and ecological issues, and her work often prompts viewers to ponder the complicated roles that plastics, consumer culture, and electricity play in our lives.

Her artwork has been presented in solo shows in Southern California at USC, UC Riverside, and CSUN, as well as a solo installation in the Los Angeles International Airport. In addition to group shows nationally, Minet has presented her work internationally in Italy, Israel, Denmark, and Belarus.

In addition to her career as an established artist, Minet is currently a professor at Moorpark College in Southern California and she has also taught in Rome, Italy and in Guadalajara, Mexico
