VICTORIA HAVEN - wall sculpture

-
Victoria Haven's work is currently on view (Jan. 12 - Feb. 6th, 2010) at Clark College's Archer Gallery (Vancouver, WA) in a group show titled VANTAGE.

As I was looking at the exhibition, this powder-coated steel wall sculpture - which started as a sketch - struck me for its strength of line, geometry and her intentional use of light to create shadows that reflect off the structure. Additionally, the piece sits in relief making it both 2-D and 3-D.

Although most of Ms. Haven's work leaves me a bit chilly, this piece combines dimensions, contour and value which rewards and engages the viewer.

Hands & Leaves as a Reminder to Play

As a young child, I creatively adjusted myself so that nobody really knew what I liked. It was a way to stay under the radar, so as not to rock the boat in my family. I also didn't even really know how to play. Now I know how to express myself and play, but it's taken some time. My colorful work is a reflection of play and how play is also possible for you too. May this piece be a reminder that you're safe to play.
