Beginning Saturday, May 31, a new sculpture by San Diego-based artist Anne Mudge will be on view at 7722 Girard Avenue. Installed in the window space of the gallery, the work will be visible at all hours. Mel Bochner: Money and Peter Dreher: Tag Um Tag Guter Tag #1638 both remain on view through June 7 in La Jolla.
Deodara is a recent continuation of Mudge's work influenced by nature: seedpods, pinecones, nests, and roots are all starting points for her process-oriented practice. Central to her body of work is the weightless sculptural form, often organized from a central tension point, sensitive to the inherent properties of her materials. Though improvisational in nature and intuitive in process, the elements that make up each piece are not without purpose. Organic in form, she constructs them through small acts that seek balance through the symmetry of opposing forces and gravity. Wires are methodically twisted, folded, wrapped and unwrapped by hand with great attention to detail over weeks and months in her studio, compressed at times with the introduction of colored and reflective beads before being released into flexible lines that govern the structure of the work.
