25 Sculptures: Assemblage

Susan Danis, “Bed,” Not dated
This piece gives a collective sense by the diverse variety of shoes. Every style possible seems to be piled together on this plain metal bed.

Lucy Harvey, “Assemblage Sculpture,” 2010
The variety of patterns on these organic shapes keeps the eye moving in and around the sculpture.

Janet Fullmer Bajorek, “Horizon,” 2010
The way the shapes are place on top of one another gives depth and space within the structure.

Michel Tuffery, “Corned Beef 2000,” 1994
Having the bull made out of corned beef tins provokes humor and irony in the piece.

Robert Rauschenberg, “Riding Bikes,” 1960
The neon lights create an energetic atmosphere giving the piece movement and balance.

Margaret Mellis, “F,” 1997
The unique choice of materials gives the structure an interesting flow from the faded colors to the shapes of each item.

Will Wagenaar, “The Lovingcup Family,” June 2009
Each character has its own individual uniqueness that separates them from one another, although they are made from the same objects.

Javier Astorga, “Dream of the Architect,” 2003
I like how the lines move around the face giving energy to the structure and capturing the strong presence that the facial expression captures.

Javier Astorga, “Little Fox Hidden in a Tree,” 2003
At first glance you notice the static flow of the net-like structure surrounding this creature, while reading the title you gain a story that provokes more thought on the interaction going on.

Wolfgang Ritschel, “The Double Helix: Key to Life,” Not Dated
The approach on the subject matter gives a lively feeling towards the chosen colors as well as the vivid patterns.
Javier Astorga, “Metamorphosis of a Dream,” 2003
I like how this expressive face is being held up by organic strands of metal giving tension to the work.

Joe Pogan, “Fish,” October 2006
The fish gives off a smooth movement because of how the materials are compiled together. They appear as though the objects were made for each spot of the creature.

Wayne Viens, “New Journey,” 2006
The texture of the faces gives off a rough vibe that moves the focus to the black glaring eyes.

Peter Thibeault, “Untitled,” 2006
I like how the pieces move together in a circular pattern to create a direct point of focus.

[dASAb], “data ECOsystems .HybridEntertainmentMatrix,” 2007
The piece is constantly going in various directions creating a static energy that gives the work an elaborate structure.

Colleen VanWyngarden, “Tender,” 2010
The texture of the skin is rough and gives a original surface adding to the theme of “Tender.”

William Shepherd, “Assemblage Sculpture,” Not Dated
The variety of toys gives a playful yet dark theme surrounding the crucified jesus in the center.

Evan Robart, Untitled, May 2007
I like the distance between each object, it gives space and allows the viewer to interact with the work.

James Robart Ford, “General Carbuncle,” 2007
The car is carefully covered in toy cars that create patterns by the colors.

Jeremy Mayor, Untitled, 2008
I like the diverse set of mechanical materials used to create this female figure.

Keith Parkenson, “Sunken,” 2009
With this structure you really can grasp the title by the expressive marks to the flow of the shapes.

Rosemary Pierce-Lackey, “Colorful Blocks – 2,” July 30, 2008
I like how you can see the space in between each cube allowing for empty space to become apart of the work.

Dan Walker, “Nova,” 2007
The colors just burst out of the center origin with the color orange exploding into yellow, it is beautiful and suits the title.

Dan Walker, “Pool,” 2007
The way the colors work together to create a bright, almost too bright, of a center truly captivates the viewer as though you were swimming into a light.

Hideki Kuwajima, Untitled, 2010
This piece is brilliant from the choice of glass as the material to the way the structure is assembled, it shines from how the objects reflect off one another.
