Virginia Overton sculpts space using found, forgotten and overlooked materials. Sturdy materials levitate. Everyday objects become ethereal forms. Pallets squish between walls with shims, large sonotubes hang from trees, and chairs balance in elegant, precarious towers. By highlighting “unskilled skills,” like driving a truck or stacking chairs, Overton rearranges our environment so that we might see it with more poetic eyes.

Virginia Overton was born in 1971 in Nashville, Tennessee, and received her M.F.A. from the University of Memphis in 2005. She participated in In Practice Summer ’09 at the Sculpture Center in New York and had a solo show at Powerhouse in Memphis in 2008. She lives and works in New York City.

Exhibition organized by Claire Schneider, Senior Curator, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.
