Homage - Brookline, New Hampshire - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

This abstract sculpture is in the Andres Institute of Art in Brookline, New Hampshire. This is a huge sculpture park with over 100 pieces on several miles of trails. The trails lead up to the summit of a mountain with sculptures lining the way.

Homage is an archway made of stone and iron. It has small frames going across the arch that look like houses, and each has a bit of blue tarp attached.

From the artist's website:

"Interested in themes of domesticity, family dynamics, childhood memories, and place, Mallory mixes traditional sculptural and craft techniques with multiples-based sculptures, participatory art, and installation. She is interested in what people consider to be their homes, how this idea can shift over time, and how we find solace in our environment...

Home can be the place in which we are most familiar, but also something we don’t fully understand or trust. Objects - especially those found within the home - can take on great meaning and become the physical symbols for rites of passage, memories, and relationships between people and places. My work teeters on the edge of comfort and discomfort - asking viewers to examine their relationship to objects, people, and their environment.



I introduce fabric into my sculptures and 2-d works, reinforcing domesticity – the interaction with the real and tactile. I stress the role that human habits or personal rituals play within a place by carefully wrapping objects in yarn in delicate linear patterns, or by embroidering lines onto canvas. This technique of repetition and routine-like application envelops and highlights each object, nurturing or conditioning these now precious items. I am instinctively protecting them, but also suffocating them. My work evokes a dichotomy of attachment and detachment, as well as both independence and loneliness."
