Work from the Studio: Diana Shpungin

MEMORY AND MEMORIALIZING
Diana Shpungin memorializes memory and loss in her drawings and sculptures. Her new body of work includes sculptures that are overlaid with polished graphite, mirror-like in their perfect finish. The pieces are often "repaired" with bandage wrappings, glue and string, then presented in off-kiltter ways that make familiar objects seem strange and puzzling.
In Diana''s unfinished chair sculpture, the left side has been rewoven in paper, the chair leg repaired with bandages and glue. The chair appears precarious and unstable.
