Virginia Mahoney Art
American, b. 1951
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.(Biography provided by Fountain Street)

"Less", contemporary, vest, green, brass, gold, mixed media, ceramic, sculpture
By Virginia Mahoney
Located in Natick, MA
Virginia Mahoney’s “Less” is a mixed-media sculpture in vest form that is primarily green with many prints and variations, and has attached ceramic tags in shades of green, on which words, referring to being less than others, are handwritten in metallic gold acrylic. Brass wires projecting inside emphasize the discomfort one feels when feeling “not enough.” Handwork, threads, and stitching are prominent. This lightweight but sturdy piece is 17 x 14 x 10 inches.
“Less” 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...

Pillow Cloud II - Silver Three-Dimensional Lightweight Metal Wall Art
By Atticus Adams
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Atticus Adams' organically composed modern metal sculptures embody the transformative power of 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.
