Virginia Mahoney
"Remix 8: Inside Out", abstract, mixed media, yellow, brown, red, sculpture

2015

About the Item

Virginia Mahoney’s “Remix 8: Inside Out” is a two-piece, abstract wall sculpture in yellow, brown, and red, made of ceramic shards (reclaimed from the artist’s destroyed ceramic vessels), steel mesh, and copper wire. This colorful, unique wall piece evokes the past in these recycled fragments of earlier work, their visible broken edges fitting together like a puzzle, “remixing” remnants of the artist’s earlier work. Angular lines of thick copper wire project about 10 inches from the wall and activate the surrounding space with beautiful shadows. “Remix 8: Inside Out” is from a recent series of abstract wall reliefs, made of ceramic shards and copper wire. The works evoke memory, re-imagined narratives and echoes of the past. 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.
