Victoria Rance's work examines occupied space. Her sculptures invite the viewer to enter either physically or imaginatively. The works create a sheltering skin, a place which protects or alters the sense of self. But there can also be ambivalence, a feeling of imprisonment and claustrophobia. She is interested in architecture and functional objects, both contemporary and historic and the interplay between functionality and art. The works exhibited in Concrete Dreams are explorations in miniature; some have later been made in full scale. In the studio they are stored together although made over several years. As in a built environment, their relationship to each other changes with any new addition or subtraction. |
