About my practice
Nancy Lovendahl’s art has extraordinary beauty of surface and structure.
Yet the classical appearance of her sculpture contains a disorderly psychological undercurrent.
An artist working in Colorado with its high mountains, big skies, and clear horizons, she has taken a vast surrounding nature and brought it within.
These convolutions and involutions are not achieved without this artist’s entering the discomforting territory of the living, where organisms, by virtue of their eternal changeability, make all borders waver.
