Rebecca Morales "While There's Calm"
BravinLee Programs
This event has ended.
Rebecca Morales exhibition at BravinLee is comprised of two triptychs, Adjacent Plumes and Still Forest, painted on vellum, each measuring approximately 40 x 108 inches. In the second gallery Morales presents a layered sculpture, Milky Sea, made of polychromed bronze, cast resin and lithographs.
Morales renders the sensuality and character of manufactured and organic matter, suggesting how these natural forms relate to the more ephemeral and less measurable mental world of thoughts, emotions, and creativity. In the sculpture, Milky Sea, Morales explores the essence of organic life in bronze and resin and the process of work in lithographed texts. Morales’ assemblage implies nature persisting in ways not dissimilar to the forces behind the making of language and representation.
While There’s Calm illuminates the notion that between the natural and mental realms there is shared wilderness, and also, perhaps these works become a meditation on the significance and vulnerability of this un-reined world, remaining wild.
