Gina Telcocci (American, b. 1954). An elegant hanging screen by sculptor Gina Telcocci. The piece is comprised of organic materials - wood and raffia found in the natural world, the wooden elements colored with natural dyes of lavender and periwinkle hues, the raffia with aqua and violet hues - all woven in a grid-like openwork pattern. According to Telcocci, "What is important to me is the evocative power and presence of the object. The forms evolve intuitively, suggested by nature and geometry." ("Gina Telcocci" - Ernesto Mayans Gallery brochure) Size: 44.75" L x 49.25" W (113.7 cm x 125.1 cm)
"Gina Telcocci is a sculptor and installation artist devoted to the power of the hand-made object. Raised the child of an organic gardener and a jazz musician, Telcocci grew to revere nature and natural processes, and to see, in improvisation, the synthesis of math and beauty as an adaptive strategy. Working with wire, wood, and other organic and found materials, she uses a variety of assemblage, traditional crafts, and weaving techniques. Her sculptures are mostly abstract, with an emphasis on structure and form, but with textural and layered complexity.
Telcocci has received numerous grants and awards, including from the from Ludwig Vogelstein Foundation, Pollock/Krasner Foundation, and the City of Oakland. Public commissions include Potrero Hill Library, San Francisco, CA, Albany Memorial Park and Walnut Creek Library, both in California, and UNM/Los Alamos, New Mexico. Her work has been exhibited across the U.S., Mexico, and South Korea. Most recently, Telcocci’s sculpture was included in the de Young Open at the de Young Museum, San Francisco (2020). And her collaborative work with art group Stone Soup Project was featured in 'Collaborations' at Gulf Coast State College, Panama City, F, (Spring, 2021)." (artist's website)
