Eve S. Mosher's work is a delightfully tactile experience. Her sculptures and installations are built from wonderful, often unexpected combinations of materials. The works range from lyrical compositions of climbing, hanging, gravity defying objects to quietly somber, simply arranged forms. Playful orbs of brightly colored wool seem to bob and weave among tendrils of thread and wire. Sewn fabric forms creep mischievously up and along walls and ceilings. Mud, plaster, latex, seeds and pollen are layered into fascinating arrangements that run the gamut from playful to ominous and captivating to repellent.

Eve's inspired approach to 2-d arrives at exciting destinations and the drawings are a satisfying complement to the rest of the work.
