Body Sculpture

2017

Body Sculpture presents a commanding three-dimensional form that fuses Lauren Davis Fisher's ongoing inquiry into the boundaries between the organic and the constructed. Completed in 2017, the work brings together mixed media and ceramics in a composition that feels simultaneously ancient and urgently contemporary, drawing the eye through its layered surfaces and carefully negotiated tensions between weight and lightness. At 152.5 × 61 × 86.5 cm, the piece occupies physical space with quiet authority, demanding a bodily response from those who encounter it. Fisher is known for her ability to dissolve the hierarchy between craft and fine art, and Body Sculpture stands as a compelling example of that sensibility in its most fully realized form. The ceramic elements carry the traces of the artist's hand while also evoking broader art historical references, from vessel traditions to modernist sculptural abstraction. The integration of additional mixed media materials introduces a formal dynamism that keeps the work from settling into any single reading, rewarding prolonged and repeated viewing. For collectors, this signed work represents a significant opportunity to acquire a piece that sits confidently within both contemporary sculpture and material practice discourses. Currently offered through CFHILL, Body Sculpture has the scale and presence to anchor institutional spaces while retaining an intimacy that suits considered domestic settings. Its 2017 date places it squarely within Fisher's mature output, a period in which her formal language became increasingly assured and her thematic concerns most sharply defined.
