About the Item
Viewing Elspeth Halvorsen Vevers’ box constructions is a lot like a walk in the moonlight. What we believe to be true in the hard brightness of daytime reality dissolves into an amorphous space of multiple possibilities and perspectives. Describing these constructions, Boston Globe art critic Cate McQuaid wrote “a container becomes the state for an insinuating abstract narrative.”
Halvorsen was instrumental in organizing the much-heralded cooperative Rising Tide Gallery. She was not only a talented sculptor, but was also the matriarch of the uniquely gifted Vevers family of artists: her husband was painter Tony Vevers, and her daughters are the artist Tabitha Vevers and the filmmaker Stephanie Vevers.
This work by Halvorsen is as beguiling and intellectually seductive as anything the artist created, and a great deal less figurative. Sunrise? Sunset? Moonrise or half moon, or smile or mountain? It is revealing that a very similar work by Halvorsen is titled Moon Mirror.
