About the Item

In this contemporary encaustic sculpture, colorful layers of pigmented beeswax suggest a meteorite and geological formations. Handmade wood pedestal included in the price. Laura Moriarty is engaged in a visual dialogue that finds equilibrium between scientific representation and acts of abstraction. Her studio practice includes making sculptures, paintings, prints and multimedia installations. By studying the elaborate diagrams found in earth science textbooks and from empirical evidence of geological events, Moriarty creates macro/micro records in encaustic paint of what she imagines is happening below the earth’s terrain. The properties of her work: shape, color, density, and composition result from the same forces that shape and reshape the earth -- heating and cooling, time, movement, transmutation, enfolding. The artist’s work is shown internationally and she is the recipient of many grants and fellowships including the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation grant and Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant, Zita Orionis Fellowship, Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, VT and the Baer Art Center, Hofsos, Iceland.

"A Mere Few Years" Wall-Hanging Marble Sculpture with Artist-Made Resin Geodes

By Paige Smith (A Common Name)

Located in Philadelphia, PA

Resin cast geodes in cracked marble in a wooden frame by Paige Smith. This piece measures 18in x 18in, with a depth of 1-5/8in. Paige Smith AKA A Common Name, is a multi-disciplinary artist and designer who lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. Smith is most notable for creating “Urban Geode,” a street art series of sculptures that resemble geodes, made entirely of paper and resin casts. Always interested in geology, Smith started to notice the nooks and crannies in the sides of buildings, walls, and abandoned phone booths within her community of the Historical Arts District (in Los Angeles). Seeing this as an opportunity to create, Smith took street-art to a whole new level. Since beginning the project, she has created large-scale installations for well-known brands such as The Standard, Hollywood; The Viper Room...
