  • Steven Nash, Karen Lamonte: Nocturnes
    3 Steven Nash Karen LaMonte Te Nocturnes: Music, Poetry, Art Inspired by the beauty of night, I call these sculptures Nocturnes—dark, seductive, and sublime. Tey are absent female forms rising from penumbral garments as figurations of dusk. —Karen LaMonte From the beginning of her long series of works on the interaction of drapery and the female fgure, Karen LaMonte has focused on the culture of fashion as a powerful determinant of identity, self-expression, and beauty. She simultaneously creates powerful sculptural statements that explore—in materials such as glass, ceramic, bronze, and iron—concepts like the interplay of solid and void, the inherent expressive qualities of various materials, absence as a theme, and light as an element of form. At one point she was primarily known as a glass artist but over the past decade she has expanded the scope of her work. With lost-wax casting as her technique of choice (she moved to Prague in 1997 to be a part of the superb Czech tradition of glass casting), LaMonte continued to probe how the density of cast form memorializes the light materiality of fabrics, lending timelessness to temporal experience. Lately she has shifted gears radically, producing a giant marble carving of a cumulus cloud based on her study of the physics of clouds, an object that connects her tangentially with the robustly volumetric work of fellow contemporary sculptors Tony Cragg and Zhan Wang, and even with certain of Auguste Rodin’s multi- fgure carvings of tumbling forms.1 But it is one of her series dealing with fashion and the female fgure that concerns us here, the Nocturne sculptures dating from approximately 2012—13 to the present.
