An insightful and concise review by Stace Brandt of my most recent exhibition, "Greater Than".

Review by Christine Temin:
Laura Evans is best known for her bronze versions of brown paper lunch bags—crinkles, folds, and all. Real lunch bags are meant to be disposable ephemera. Evans’s bronzes will last for the ages. They’re comical. Tucked in a bookcase indoors or sitting on the grass outside, they sometimes make people giggle. While still engaged with the lunch bags, Evans moved on to tree branches in her recent show, “The Aching Web.” These antic constructions had a presence even before you entered the gallery. One of them started on the floor of the large room, struggled to climb over a railing, and ended up on a shelf just below the big windows looking onto the street. It was easy for passersby to see, and perhaps some were lured inside. Through the door and up a short flight of stairs, a fuse box was temporarily adorned with a bundle of tiny twigs that could be read as an alternate form of power...see the entire review in the print version of September's Sculpture magazine.

The Aching Web was a temporary sculptural installation that took 2.5 days to install in the Boston Sculptors Gallery in late February 2016. The exhibition is done, but here is a 2.5 minute video of the process of building it - enjoy!

The Aching Web

First Friday Reception: Friday March 4, 5-8pm
Artists' Reception: Saturday, March 12, 3-6pm

The Aching Web will feature sculptural drawings that create interior volumes, delineated by web-like interconnected lines. There is fluidity as well as an awkward geometry in the lines. Knobby connectors of Apoxie Sculpt become stars in a constellation or hubs in a child’s assembled tinker-toy set. Using dead branches treated with Aquaresin, I will build a site-responsive installation with soaring and twisted forms that viewers can walk into and through. Individual works will be shown in addition to the installation.

This is a monthly blog, featuring gallery artists. I describe being in a fallow period and what happens when I go into my studio.

In 2008 I was commissioned by The Cambridge Arts Council to create a pair of companion art benches for the Greene-Rose Heritage Park based on a typical park bench design that the City of Cambridge usually selects from a catalogue. The title, “Conductivity”, speaks to the ways in which my sculpture often combines elements from the natural and the built environments. This exhibition represents a range of experiments and finished pieces over the course of the last decade, where themes and ideas explored one year might return years later. A large installation is featured.

A Curatorial Opportunity Program exhibition curated by Adrienne Jacobson
Artists: Jill Slosburg-Ackerman, Laura Evans, Candice Ivy, Ken Landauer, Shannon Rankin and August Ventimiglia
An exhibition investigating the relationship between artwork, geology, landscape and time. The six featured artists engage in excavation either formally, by removing layers of material, or metaphorically, through a process of uncovering memories and hidden histories. Informed by twentieth-century land art and altered objects, these artists skillfully cut, rip, dig, scrape, peel, rebuild and relocate to give their materials new meaning. March 22 - May 9, 2015

This is a blog about the outdoor exhibition that was a collaboration between Boston Sculptors Gallery artists and The Christian Science Center in Boston, May-October 2013

A delightful struggle
