Sculptures 1989-2003
Arlene Slavin’s sculptural practice synthesizes natural forms, cultural systems, and abstract patterns across a diverse range of materials—including metals, etched glass, concrete, and terrazzo.
Driven by an interest in an enigmatic line that animates nature, her works play with silhouettes, shadows, and light to enliven public and architectural spaces. Integrating personal and accessible symbolism, her forms range from site-specific installations, ornamental gates, and floor inlays to folding screens and monumental structures.
