About the Item
Mela M’s sculptures are her interpretation of the seamless interconnectedness of light and material form and reference the pronounced uncertainty and unpredictability of our rapidly changing world. In her work, she seeks to both describe and inform the journey we are on.
The ominously aggressive sharp and angled forms are in stark contrast to the radiance of the shockingly brilliant colors. And yet these irregular and uncommon shapes and colors create a balance in their chaotic asymmetry. There is an order and visual harmony that transcends the seemingly incongruous pairings.
Simultaneously referencing the physical (some unknowable form) and an intangible (light), the sculptures are exuberant and playful. Their absolutely impeccable execution belies the human hand behind their creation and yet these forms could only be the product of an artist’s boundless imagination.
Mela M’s work is a guide, or perhaps an edict, to cultivate a more enlightened relationship between art, science, the planet, and the universe. There is a sense that within the chaos is order and within order, chaos. And that in this balance is the true stuff of life.
