new work that refuses the constraints of imagination
The contemporary artists at ViVO are emerging from their studios and are ready to share their objectified responses to the pandemic. The resulting paintings, sculpture, mixed media, mosaic and kiln glass in this show capture the depth of the experience that we are all sharing while inspiring new hope for a future alive and well and living in our hearts.

construction artist Ilse Bolle
Ilse Bolle’s fiber constructions are a fascinating combination of mixed media and sculpture. A clever interplay of unconventional and traditional materials presents a refreshing illustration of conviviality in art and life.

Using paper she makes by hand, twigs she harvests from the local landscape and waxed linen thread, Bolle constructs a simple, strong sculptural form. Found pieces of rusted metal, ubiquitous in the arroyos around Santa Fe, are then added to the composition. The juxtaposition of natural and man-made elements creates a remarkably earthy, stable beauty. At the same time, Bolle's work maintains an aesthetic that captures and releases an emotional reaction.
