About the Item
"Chance Encounter: Invent" walnut, paint, dowels, Vertical: 80 x 11 1/2 x 2; Horizontal: 12 x 62 x 2, 2009. (originally commissioned for The Green Issue for the NY Times Magazine 4/20/08 pp 45-72).
This mixed media wall sculpture was done by San Francisco-based artist, Gyöngy Laky (b. 1944, Hungary). She is known for her sculptural vessels, typographical wall sculptures, and site-specific outdoor works composed of materials harvested from nature — such as wood gleaned from orchard pruning, park and garden trimmings, street trees and forests of California — and discarded objects she considers “industrial harvest” such as recycled materials and post-consumer bits from surplus such as screws, nails, telephone wire.
“These annually renewable linear elements are regarded as discards,” Laky notes. “In my studio practice, however, they are employed as excellent and hardy materials.”
“The vertical and horizontal elements of textile technology – ubiquitous in textile constructions of all sorts – underpins so much of human ingenuity about making things and led us, eventually, to the age of computers. In the context of a personal examination of our complex relationship with the world around us, my work often combines materials sourced from nature with screws, nails or ‘bullets for building’ (as the drywall screws I like are, ironically, called). The incongruity of hardware protruding from branches hints at edgy relationships as well as the flux of human interaction with nature,” says Laky.
