Author: John Yau
Over the course of her career, Helen Pashgian has produced a significant oeuvre of sculptures comprised of vibrantly coloured columns, discs and spheres, which often feature an isolated element appearing suspended, embedded or encased within them. This book documents Pashgian’s vast body of work, dating from the 1960s to now, with historic and new photographs of the artist’s spheres and discs. An essay by John Yau and a chronology built on new research is also included.Using an innovative application of industrial epoxies, plastics and resins, Pashgian’s works are characteriwed by their translucent surfaces that appear to filter and somehow contain illumination. 'One must move around to observe changes,' she testifies, 'coming and going, appearing and receding, visible and invisible – a phenomenon of constant movement.'
ISBN 9781942185758. Radius Books. hb. 172 pages. 80 colour ills. 25.4 x 35.6 cm.
