Kathleen Vance Artist Statement, “Traveling Landscapes” With the series “Traveling Landscapes” Vance creates miniature landscapes inside vintage suitcases and trunks. The bucolic scenes harken to a place out of time and a romanticism of nature, with lush foliage and flowing streams. These relaxing scenarios consider personal land ownership, water rights and the need for stewardship and preservation of our green areas and water sources. These works bring nature back into one's daily life and the hurried pace of each person's travels can be slowed to a moment of respite for contemplation and reflection. "I sculpt imagined, recreated landscapes in a miniature scale and displace them from their original context to present an unexpected vision of nature to the viewer. I enjoy the sense of discovery with encounters of my artwork. My Traveling Landscape series combines a sense of travel with the preciousness of our natural resources. I activate the inner landscapes with running water through streams and directed lights from inside to entice a closer look. I incorporate soil and materials from the location I am representing, to give a sense of authenticity to the experience. For this series I reference primarily vintage travel cases: train cases and steamer trunks relate to a time when travel was slower and the distances between us and our homelands and foreign landscapes were more difficult to access. The cases act to abstract the idea of travel and romanticize the idyllic and luxurious qualities of travel. I utilize cases that have indications of travel, with notes and markers which give a feeling that they have been used for transportation of someone’s special or personal items. The landscapes created for each and contained within, are inspired by these impressions” -Kathleen Vance

  • "Sleeping Swan" ceramic sculpture with lace, hand sculpted flowers and swan
    By Sascha Mallon
    Located in New York, NY
    This wall-mounted sculptural installation is created with hand-built ceramic and glazes, presented on a shelf with vintage lace. The artist has incorporated pressed lace, ceramic flowers in dark pink which are mounted to a wall panel hung on the wall above the hand sculpted glazed ceramic figure of a sleeping swan. A contemporary sculptural tableau of a a swan with flowers floating above. This ceramic sculpture is featured in a solo exhibition of new works by Sascha Mallon, entitled, "Mending Dreams. Front Room Gallery is pleased to present, “Mending Dreams” a solo exhibition of new sculptural works by Sascha Mallon. “Mending Dreams” includes hand-build ceramics, assemblage sculptures and drawings which capture moments in time, accessed through memories and dreams. The forms and the figures in this exhibition relate to the artist’s Austrian heritage; she creates images of animals, people, and nature that reference allegories, myths, and stories, re-contextualized in contemporary life. She is particularly interested in expressing inner thoughts and feelings and how those relate to reality. Sascha Mallon’s work encourages viewers to slow down and to notice the beauty and wonder of the world around us. “Mountains are a recurring theme in my work. They are a metaphor for the body and also allude to my Austrian heritage. They refer to the border between inside and outside and represent stability and home. My mountain sculptures are formed out of broken pieces of glass and ceramics. This work started when I broke one of my favorite cups. The mountain represents the idea that when we face difficulties and challenges in life there are two possibilities: either we accept it and learn something, get stronger, and grow, or part of ourselves breaks and we carry the weight of the loss with us. The mountain is also a metaphor for the fact that many different pieces forming a whole are stronger than the individual parts.” -Sascha Mallon Another recurring subject in Sascha Mallon’s work is a series of figures in a position of waiting, sleeping, or dreaming. For example, her ceramic sculptures of female...
