PDX Contemporary Art presents an exhibition by Victoria Haven.
Haven’s recent work includes works on paper (drawings and cut structures), and material explorations ranging from delicate (reflective Mylar collaged onto fragile Gampi paper) to robust (wrought steel dipped in white plastic).
These multiple avenues of investigation are united by Haven’s focused exploitation of the chosen material, which allows her to “emancipate line from form, gesture from surface, and to play with the interval between two and three dimensions”. (Seattle P-I June 28th, 2007 Abstraction takes on fresh dimensions in Haven’s ‘Iampayingattention’ by Nate Lippens)
