Laura Rosete uses miniatures as both stage and subject, drawn to containers and bathtubs that resemble maternal wombs or intimate spaces where humans nest in silence. This brief yet substantial display of contemporary sculpture invites us to surrender to a contemplation of forms, textures, and densities—and to understand how the artist made the image “emerge” from the very matter that lent its substance to crystallize metaphors.
*Current Three-Dimensionality* can be interpreted as a garden of solid figures, where the growth of its flora has paused to reveal the profile and volume of continuous metamorphoses that shape her artistic inquiries.
