Karolina MaszkiewiczTending the Wild

New ceramic sculptures and kinetic mobiles made with seed pods and other plant matter, some of it metal-plated.

Maszkiewicz’s mobiles start with gathering plant material from landscapes in Hawaii and California. Some seed pods are kept natural and others metal-plated, then hung in balanced compositions that move with air and light.

The new ceramic sculptures rebuild organic forms in clay, as branching and coiling structures. Together the works make an imagined garden of stems, roots, vessels and geometric frames, treating cultivation as care rather than control. The show is part of the gallery’s JLG Projects series.
