About the Item
Virginia Candler says of her work…
I make paintings, collages and sculptures that explore my immediate surroundings and materiality. Often, it’s observations of the natural world that inform my mark making and themes. Created during my residency at the Joan Mitchell Center, the canvases are part of a series titled Borrowed Gesture that investigates the life/death/life cycle of banana plants in my yard. After the freeze in 2024, I watched the plants crumple, change color, and regrow from their stumps. The ongoing patterns of decay and expansion fascinate me—not only the visible transformations but also the unseen root network that sustains these rhizomes below the surface, reflecting the interconnection of all things.
