The Natural Sculptures of Olga Ziemska

The work of artist Olga Ziemska has a special relationship with the natural world.  Natural materials such as wood, sand, and stone comprise much of her work.  However, it is in synthesizing aspects of humanity with the natural world that Ziemska's work is especially effective.  In a poetic style similar to her artwork she describes her work via artist statement saying: "Returning meaning back to nature. Making the human body a part of the whole, not the whole part.  Blending the body in. Showing how easily it can mesh, morph and disappear.  The body is nothing without that which surrounds it.  This is an ever-changing reflection." See more of Olga Ziemska's work after the jump.

(Above: Drone photo by stephan pruitt/fiasco media) We are living in even stranger times. While fires are ravaging Los Angeles on the west coast of the United States, affecting many of our friends and collaborators, the scores of artists in Asheville affected by Hurricane Helene in December are still reeling from the loss of their homes and studios. To provide support, Bender Gallery has organized an art show with their local artists to support the River Arts District. Click above to read all about it and see a few works on display.
