« I embrace the gravitas, the depth and breadth of the beauty of women, which is limitless. It is physical, emotional, spiritual. Powerful. Movement and form are my language and vocabulary. »
Tanya Ragir is an accomplished American sculptor whose works have featured in prizes, exhibitions and publications in the US and Italy. An architectural thread runs through her work, allowing her to explore the relationship between feminine forms and landscapes from shifting perspectives. Her sculpted figures are tied to the land, representing ideas related to damage, decay and renewal. Ragir ultimately hopes for each viewer to feel an emotional connection to her works, a sense of something universal, transcendental.
