About 15 years ago, Margaret Honda began to think of her sculptures as malleable, resolving that even if something is exhibited as finished, it remains open to change. She has, for instance, repeatedly melted down and reconfigured bronze sculptures or worked with unfixed photo paper, which changes continually in response to light. For her Marvelseal series (2020-2022), Honda packed and sealed older works in Marvelseal®, an aluminized polyethylene and nylon barrier film, lending them a new form. Reflecting on boundaries between interior and exterior, as well as expectations of visibility, these works operate as seductively shiny, silver reminders that nothing is ever really static.
