Alicia Basinger: Souvenir
Exhibition Running: MARCH 5 – 26, 2010
Artist Reception: First Thursday, MARCH 4, 2010, 6 – 8pm
Alicia Basinger’s installation of ceramic sculpture takes its inspiration from various objects (tschotskes, antiques, and the garden). Her predilection ranges from everyday kitsch to the figurines and over-the-top curiosities of the Rococo and Art Nouveau movements. Creating structures in clay and orchestrating material transformations with a range of processes, Basinger creates a personal, fantastical world of objects, lanterns, and symmetrical, wall-mounted reliefs. Her work alludes to concepts of growth, metamorphosis, phenomenon, deterioration, and our universal relationship to nature.
