About the Item
Virginia Mahoney’s “Illogical Sequence” is an 18 x 14 x 7 inch ceramic and metal wall sculpture in peach, teal, pink, gold, green, and brown. A cutout metal figure painted in gold and black reaches for a ceramic shard on a painted ceramic background. Another shard floats off to the left of the background, connected by green painted wire. The piece hangs easily by the wire loop attached to the back, where the artist’s signature is located. This dynamic but contemplative work compliments your decor with its distinctive, original approach to materials, texture, and lively color.
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.

Burnished Rose - Contemporary Original Tabletop Metal Sculpture
By Atticus Adams
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Atticus Adams' organically composed modern metal sculptures embody the transformative power of contemporary art, illustrating the creation of beauty, meaning, and emotional impact from industrial materials. Using mostly aluminum mesh—generally found in screen doors, windows, and filters—he creates contemporary abstract sculptural artworks and installations, which resemble flowers, clouds, and other natural phenomena. Working in metal, Adams effortlessly transforms rigid material into airy, effervescent artworks.
This 15-inch high by 10-inch wide by 8-inch deep tabletop sculpture is created with copper mesh, gesso, acrylic paint, rivets, and wire on a metal stand. Size and price include stand. Atticus works spontaneously, feeling his way toward the objects that take shape in his mind as he shapes them almost entirely by hand. Convenient local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and international shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
Atticus grew up in West Virginia, steeped in traditional folk art. Several members of his family are self-taught artists, deeply involved in such crafts as wood carving and quilting. His formal art training includes stints at Yale, Rhode Island School of Design, and Harvard’s School of Architecture. Atticus has fond summer memories of screened-in porches back home and screen doors that practically dissolved the barrier between inside and outside, allowing the warmth and nature to permeate each day. This association continues to resonate in his art.
“Metal mesh is a beautiful, flexible material that allows you to explore shadow and transparency in endless ways,” he says. “The material lends itself to these biomorphic shapes, which aren’t necessarily intentional . . . The sculptures seem fragile but are actually quite resilient—like nature itself.”
A well-known sculptor, the organically inspired artworks of Atticus Adams are held in public and private collections and are exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States.
