Annabeth Rosen:
Bundles
Bundles | A marked shift in Annabeth Rosen’s work occurred between 2013 and 2015 when she refined her notion of the “mashup.” Rather than binding disparate elements together, the artist reconceived her practice by structuring her sculptural forms as elegant friezes focused on form and color. The bundles of shapes are smaller and held in place with strips of rubber similar to that found in bicycle inner tubes, rather than wire. The surfaces also become primarily green and slip-cast white. With titles like Brooze (2013) and Brundle (2012), the sculptures reveal a more lighthearted and humorous approach to the work.
Annabeth Rosen: Fired, Broken, Gathered, Heaped is the artist’s first major survey and chronicles over 20 years of her work in ceramics. The exhibition will also feature works on paper that mirror the trajectory of her works created in clay.
