Daily Vase: New Work by Alison Owen
September 6th – October 14th
Opening Reception September 15th, 6-9 pm
On January 1st, 2018, Alison Owen set out to make a vase every day of the year. The vase could be a traditional 3D clay vessel, a sculptural simulacrum of a vase made from fabric construction, a collage made from images found in discarded design magazines and art books, a painting, a drawing – the only requirement was that the daily piece incorporate a vase in some form.
Owen’s work speaks through form and the nature of the materials used for each piece. She is inspired by the domestic interiors of Morandi and Bonnard’s paintings, ancient Egyptian vessels, and the architectural diversity of her Brooklyn neighborhood. All of these influences come together to create works that are subtly patterned, slightly off-kilter, and satisfying to hold, display, and use.
Greenpoint Hill is located at 100 Freeman Street, Brooklyn, New York 11222. Gallery hours are Thursday-Sunday 12-6pm, and by appointment. Please contact the gallery at info@greenpointhill.com for more information.
