Bortolami is pleased to announce Virginia Overton’s second solo exhibition at the gallery, an installation of five new sculptures.

Four of the works are wall reliefs made from various metal components salvaged from a large-scale outdoor sign which was designed in the 1960s. The artist spent a year deconstructing each of the sign’s massive letters, bolt by bolt, into the parts which were repurposed for the works in this exhibition. With an abundance of material, Overton has utilized vestiges of the sign’s typeface, design, and previous fabrication techniques in tandem with her own sculptural interventions to abstract each material and form.
