In her sculptures, Alisha Gould makes use of forms derived from nature to explore universal human concerns. The sculptures are all meticulously fabricated from inventive combinations of materials. Alisha merges seemingly opposite elements within a single form or group of forms -- sharp with soft, alluring with repellent, clean with dirty, to create compelling objects and spaces. The work has a graceful quietness that lends itself to slow contemplation of ideas about the basic framework of human relations, the world around us and how and where we all fit. The artist succeeds in opening a dialogue where we can examine intimate ideas within the context of vaguely familiar, abstract environments. Alisha's website is clean, well organized and easy to navigate. Along with images of 3-d work, she also includes a small section of prints which have a clear connection to the rest of the work. http://www.alishagould.com/index.html
