About the Item
Virginia Mahoney’s “Caution” is a mixed-media sculpture in vest form, that is black with bright yellow accents, and has attached ceramic tags on which words referring to being cautious are handwritten. Ceramic spikes projecting inside emphasize the discomfort one feels when fearful or cautious; evidence of handwork, threads, and stitching, is prominent. This lightweight but sturdy, color-blocked piece is 16 x 17 x 10 inches.
“Caution” is part of an ongoing series of garment sculptures, which manifest sensations of experiencing uncomfortable situations, doubt, regret, background thoughts or personal barriers. Mahoney devises unconventional ways of working with materials, and is inspired by new ideas in the process.
Virginia Mahoney is a mixed-media sculptor in the Boston area, whose work reveals a fascination with words, ambiguity, and diverse methods of making. She reflects on sensation, reaction, and thought, using laborious processes and unexpected material combinations. Her work has been exhibited frequently in the eastern and central United States. Mahoney is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.

Virginia Mahoney
Virginia Mahoney is a mixed-media sculptor who currently works with garment-related forms. She makes work about discomfort and doubt, and is intrigued by the ambiguity of words, standards, and categories. Her unconventional approaches often inspire ideas. Mahoney’s objects embody uncertainty, unrealized expectations, or burdening thoughts and questions. Prior to receiving her MFA in ceramics at Cranbrook Academy of Art (MI), Mahoney graduated with High Honors from University of Florida, and was a Core Fellow at Penland School of Craft (NC). Her work has been shown in juried/invitational exhibits in the U.S., and is in the Lancaster Art Museum collection (PA). She works in her home studio in Brockton, Massachusetts.
