“Basking in Reflected Glory” is a solo exhibition by Inna Babaeva. The show features Babaeva’s newest body of work placing hand-blown glass sculptures of organic shapes and colors beside mass-produced objects widely available for purchase. As with her previous work, this exhibition balances aesthetics of synthetic and organic, engaging with themes of commercial production and uniformity with playful absurdity.
Combining found elements with those fashioned by my own hand, my work encompasses two- and three-dimensional collage as well as sculptural objects. Infused with a rich sense of history, the essence of my work lies in the age-old struggle between nature and the man-made industrial world. My challenge is to convey this in a way […]
The ideas for many of my bronze sculptures come from dance movements. I abstract the dancer and emphasize the movement. The Triangles are an additive process, beginning with two and adding until the sculpture is complete. In all my work, I’m alert to the relationships of planes, line, negative spaces and viewpoint. Envisioning this interaction is what makes it exciting.

MacDougall’s work transcends the physical. Led by the desire to capture the potential for movement in the objects around us and influenced by the world as seen through the lens of the microscope, Macdougall creates sculpture which leads the imagination to touch the sublime.

I am dedicated to exploring the possibilities of three-dimensional shapes formed from straight lines. Symmetry makes it easier to suspend a form in midair as the forces pull it in all directions equally. I often concentrate on the creation of shapes that appear to float in space. My recent work has been acrylic but I’m back to working in wood.
My sculpture begins by investigating the physical properties of materials and finding ways to join, combine or assemble them. I seek forms that convey moods, gestures or concepts and develop them through variations, exploring different alternatives for their interaction and scale. My art is a constant reflection on the character of materials and the possibilities for transforming them into sculpture.
