Simultaneously recalling elements of fungi, coral, and botanicals, Megan Bogonovich’s vibrant sculptures poke at the boundary between nature and the artificial, the unique and the manufactured. The artist’s uncanny botanical ceramics are created using a series of bespoke plaster molds, embellished with intricate details that resemble blossoms or mushroom caps. Duplicated shapes are disguised with a range of glazes, textures, and embellishments that resist pure repetition yet hint at a sense of the inorganic.
A collection of new sculptures by Bogonovich go on view this week in the artist’s solo exhibition at Jane Lombard Gallery in New York City. Fertile Ground opens on November 7 and continues through December 13. Explore more on the artist’s website and Instagram.
