Sculpture Transformed: The Work of Marjorie Schick

Sculpture Transformed incorporates 67 objects that exemplify 40 years of Schick’s experimentation with form, texture, and color. Her “body sculptures” are most often seen in the form of large-scale head ornaments, massive ceremonial collars, cloaks, and back sculptures that seem to soar from the wearer. This hallmark exhibition highlights these acclaimed “body sculptures,” while taking the viewer on a voyage through a visual evolution of Schick’s style. In addition to representing Schick’s wearable art constructions, this spectacular retrospective will include Schick’s renowned trompe l’oeil creations of everyday objects. These pieces vividly transform and interpret the mundane: a bracelet masquerades as a teapot while a portion of a brick sidewalk becomes a cloak; a necklace entangles the wearer in glowing threads reminiscent of a dew spangled spider web. Works in this second grouping will invite the visitor into a unique artistic sensibility that generates uniquely aesthetic connections from everyday experience. by Tacey A.
