Rebecca Manson

<p>Gutter derives from Rebecca Manson’s long, taxonomical study of the movement of leaves in nature. Her extensive archive of textures, colors, and images are reflected in the porcelain elements, several hundred ceramic impressions of found leaves, glazed in a vibrant autumnal  palette. Two to six inches in length, these leaves are adhered with epoxy onto a foamfilled welded-steel armature coated with resin and  fiberglass. On the verge of fluttering, the leaves appear to be frozen in motion, lifting with the breeze, whirling into columns or spilling over each other. While conjuring up a gauzy, universal nostalgia for childhood and the change of the seasons, the execution and feel of the work is visibly sharp, delicate, and even aggressive, suggesting a disconnect between the perception and reality of nature. While instantly recognizable and straightforward in form, this exaggerated and dreamlike sculpture is an ode to what the artist calls a ‘visceral commonplace.’</p><p> </p><p>Rebecca Manson (b. 1989, New York) is a graduate of the ceramics department of the Rhode Island School of Design. Her work is made with both a high-grade technical toolbox and an unfussy disregard for breakable rules. Her subject is nature as observed in gardens and the immediate surroundings of the countryside.</p>
