Virginia Mahoney

Virginia Mahoney’s complex body-related forms expose the undercurrents of human interaction/reaction and expectations. Her specter-like sculptures elicit the sensations and subtexts of the corporeal, layered complexity of human experience as they probe autobiographical stories and narratives of politics, current events, and societal norms and practices. Working with discarded, re-formed old work, she reclaims the past and re-forms it into something new and enigmatic, assertive and ambiguous. Intricate detail, layered  transparent fabrics, ragged edges, and hand-stitched words and phrases twist and question the labels we use to describe who we are, what we do, what we believe.

Mahoney holds an MFA in Ceramics from Cranbrook Academy of Art (MI) and a BA from the University of Florida. She was a Bromfield Gallery Solo 2022 Competition winner and has shown in juried and invitational exhibits both regionally and nationally. She has been published in Artscope Magazine and online in Hyperallergic, Boston Voyager and WBURArtery. Her work is in private collections and the Lancaster Art Museum (PA). She works from her home studio in Brockton, MA, and is a Core Member of Fountain Street.
