Like crystallized meteors or mysterious terrestrial phenomena, Lauren Fensterstock’s jewel-encrusted sculptures (beforehand) mirror the artist’s curiosity in sacred symbols of the universe.
In her solo exhibition, Some Lands Are Fabricated from Gentle at Claire Oliver Gallery, Fensterstock presents a brand new physique of intimate sculptures and Swarovski crystal-coated drawings that mirror moments of introspection and inside peace.
“I see my work as jewelry but not to adorn the body… rather (to) augment the soul,” Fensterstock says in an announcement. “I invite viewers to pause and reflect on their place within a collective experience and embrace their perceived imperfections—acknowledging that our differences, flaws, and struggles are what make us uniquely human.”
The artist performs with gentle and distinction, composing spherical surfaces and darkish cavities that glint within the gentle. She makes use of pure crystals, like quartz, and repurposed discovered objects like chandelier elements, Swarovski gems, vintage beads, and glass. The ensuing works take the type of exploding celestial objects and enigmatic botanicals.
Some Lands Are Fabricated from Gentle continues by way of January 18. Discover extra on the artist’s web site and Instagram.
