Elizabeth Langyher

I see my sculptural practice as an act of discovery – seeking the elusive edges of emotion and memory by translating their imagined shapes into objects and installations. I lean into symbols and metaphors, poetic language, and abstraction as a way to explore themes of grief, wonder, and personal narrative. My objects reference historical works, architecture, and nature. My installations work to create an environment for viewers to investigate the edge of the familiar and find moments of wonder and connection. In exploring small works, I let myself move into the aesthetics of wonder and glee that I associate with fabric and upholstery patterns from my childhood - patterns which borrow from the Memphis design movement. The small slab built cups take further inspiration from nerikomi construction techniques and layer stained porcelain parts to create bright moments of patterns, symbols, and color relationships.
