Anna-Bella Papp Romanian
Not on view
Papp works solely in clay, shaping this humble and ancient substance into rectangular tablets and then building up or carving out geometric designs onto the objects’ surfaces. She often constructs multiple reliefs simultaneously, taking advantage of the extended malleability of the material to add and subtract elements over time. She fired these five plaques in a kiln but left them unglazed, allowing their naturally variant tones to remain visible. The architectural forms of these untitled works resonate with many examples of nineteenth- and twentieth-century modernist practice such as sculptures by Alberto Giacometti and Barbara Hepworth or buildings designed by Marcel Breuer and Philip Johnson.
