Molly Spain
Molly has established a rich and dynamic career in making mixed-media sculpture and two-dimensional artworks. Resourceful, inventive, skilled and rigorous in her exploration of materials, she uses a sophisticated sensibility of form in space to produce works that feel both deeply explored and elemental. Molly examines extended connections among humans and natural structures as she shapes metal, wood, paper and mixed media to generate art that is organic and ordered, primal and elegant. She has also specialized in delivering a broad range of innovative commissioned works - small-scale and monumental art for private and public settings. In 2021, she completed 'Critical Mass,' a mural covering the entire exterior of the five-story Mainframe Studios building that has become a landmark in downtown Des Moines, Iowa.
