The American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA) is proud to present Heaven: Rebekah Bogard in the Vault exhibition space. Bogard presents whimsical floral sculptures with deep jewel tones and oversized plant life to create a fantasy space illuminated by fire-lit sconces. The Opening Reception is on Saturday, September 13th from 6:00-9:00pm.
After spending many years imagining and creating fauna, which populated her fantastic world, the artist now devotes her attention to the flora. Her animals are now relegated to the background to embellish the floral compositions.
Heaven represents a vision informed by a personal journey. Questioning our common portrayals of Heaven, the artist developed a personal understanding that “Heaven is a vision lit from within.” For Rebekah, beauty lays in the darkness, as you cannot experience light without obscurity.
The installation features sconces, wall sculptures and floor pieces exhibited in dim light creating a mysterious atmosphere. Heaven transports you to a mesmerizing and fantastic world, where Rebekah Bogard states, “Fantasies become realities and dreams become actuality”.
