About the Item

The wildness and attention to detail that underlies the creative forces of nature are also present in these fantastic mixed-media sculptural works by Eva Maier. Made manifest in these pieces is an acknowledgement that the boundaries we humans erect between ourselves and other animals, between animals and plants, between organic and inorganic beings, is much more porous and flexible than we like to believe. The beautiful thing about these sculptures - the sheer artistry of the ceramics, crochet, felt, sewing, and design work aside - is the benevolence and humor of her imagination. These creatures are not monsters nor cute anthropomorphic projections, as half-animal/half-human beings so often are. The spirit of the animal dominates with the human attributes present in gesture and mental flights of fashion. They speak to a world of, and about, transformation.
