SCULPTOR AND ENVIRONMENTALIST, VICTORIA FULLER, EXAMINES THE NATURAL WORLD AT PACKER SCHOPF GALLERY
Victoria Fuller’s sculpture explores nature from many angles – underground, above ground, and inner space. In an exhibition at Packer Schopf Gallery, Fuller offers a multilayer investigation of environmental systems. Aptly titled Nature², Fuller’s sculptures alternately depict organic and man-made structures, illustrating both nature’s abundance and the dire consequences of human interference. Figurative representations of untouched flora and fauna juxtapose ecological carelessness and exploitation. For example, the hibernating chipmunks of Deep Down starkly contrast Factory Farm’s caged chickens. Viewed as a collection, Fuller’s artwork simultaneously examines nature’s inherent harmony and the human tendency to control it.
Nature² marks a departure in Fuller’s artwork. While prior sculpture re-appropriated common, manufactured objects to subtly reveal environmental motifs, the Nature² collection interprets the natural world via more literal construction. Direct depictions of organic elements - whether among earth and grass or human-implemented industrial piping – allow Fuller to investigate systems impacted by man’s activity in a widely-understandable manner. Though distinct, Fuller’s newer sculpture remains interconnected with her found object-based artwork. Each body of work informs the other, fully illuminating the universal experience of life on earth.

My
name is April Hutter and I am the new Workshop and Event Coordinator
for Artsupply.com (Genesis Art Supply). We are so excited right now
because we are moving to a new location to expand our store! This new
place will be a space where you can buy art supplies. It will also
serve as a foundation for artists’ success, a platform in which we can
support you, and a gathering place for artists to come together to
celebrate and share art. Since we are creating this new space together I
want to seek out talented and interested individuals to create this
exciting new community.
If
you are receiving this e-mail because I found your website Artist
Breakfast Group and thought it might be a good opportunity to reach out
to someone there to instruct a workshop/demonstration, show your work in
our
gallery, or are just plain eager to learn more! We are also eager to
learn more. In fact, we would like to learn more about you and your
talents.
This
preliminary e-mail is just an introduction to our plans of expansion
and also a way of getting to know more about the individuals we will be
creating alongside. I would like to know more about your talents as an
artist and also as a person. We want to highlight all of your abilities
as a person and a talented individual.
I have some questions for you. Feel free to answer them in a way that feels fun for you:
- What are your areas of expertise?
- What workshops would you like to teach?
- What materials would you need to be able to teach this?
- How would you like to be compensated for your time? (ie. trade, monetary, art supplies)
- Is there any other pertinent information for this workshop?
- Also, is there a particular workshop you would like to take if it was offered in the store?
- What is your preferred method of contact?
I
appreciate any and all feedback; everything is very helpful to us right
now. Feel free to e-mail me anything. I am open to
suggestions/comments/concerns, all of it! There’s a lot of time,
effort, and heart going into this new space and we want the vibe to
reflect that. I know you are a talented person who can really assist in
creating a great space with us.
Thank you,
April Hutter
