Sam Mogelonsky’s sculptural practice focuses on the manipulation of surfaces to reveal narratives associated with materiality and process. Her treatment of sculptural surfaces speaks to decoration, ritual, materiality, the female body, and finding space between meditative practices to reveal meaning.
The surface of the physical body is referenced through repetition, changing the viewer’s perception by creating a visual narrative between tiny sequins, applied carefully to biomorphic forms. There is a connection in her work to surface, the perception of viewing, care, as well as time spent with an object, almost as if creating a textile or a suit of armor.
