About the Item

Wall Mounting Mixed Media Sculpture, Waxed Linen, 19 x 14 x 7 in, Mary Giles Mary Giles (1944-2018) received her BS in Art Education from Mankato State University in Minnesota. After receiving her degree she began exploring various textile processes. She honed her fiber techniques through workshops with such fiber artists as Fern Jacobs, Lissa Hunter, Diane Itter, Jane Sauer and John McQueen. Giles’ beautiful contemporary sculptural forms are constructed using the traditional basketry technique of coiling often combining waxed linen with metal embellishments of copper or iron. Her sources are diverse but central to her work in its reference to nature, from her exploration of the property of various materials to the textures, light and shadow, and forms of the natural environment. The human figure is used both as a formal reference and as an element of commentary. About her work, Giles states: “I interpret and express my concerns about our environment and the human condition through my work. I have explored communication and intimacy in relationships. The results are reflected in my figural work. I admire the directness and honesty I see in tribal art and I try to incorporate those qualities in my own.” Museum Collections Minneapolis Institute of the Arts, Minneapolis, MN Arkansas Arts Center, Little Rock, AR Racine Art Museum, Racine, WI Contemporary Art Museum, Honolulu, HI Erie Art Museum, Erie, PA Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, MI Fine Arts Museum, San Francisco, CA Museum of Arts & Design, New York, NY St. Louis Art Museum, St. Louis, MO

This is a mixed media sculpture composed of plastic/resin (it looks like blackened steel), rubber and metal wire. Hand signed verso. This sale is for one. I have 5 of them available, they make a great wall installation grouping. Carol K. Brown is an American woman artist born in Memphis, Tennessee and lives and works in New York and Miami Beach, Florida. Brown works with sculpture, painting, photography, video, digital and installation art. She has received the State of Florida Fine Arts Fellowship (1983), Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art Fellowship (1986), and two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship (1984 and 1986). Her work is owned by the Perez Art Museum Miami, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, and the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University. She is a professor of sculpture at the New World School of the Arts in Miami. She was included in the show Making Art in Miami along with Jose Bedia; Consuelo Castaneda; Quisqueya Henriquez...
