“Fish Tales and Other Stories” by Andrea V. Uravitch consists of a series of nature installations and stand alone sculptures that invite viewers to contemplate their relationship to nature.
One room articulates childhood memories of nature. A variety of fish and photos of Alaska make up a second room, while a third explores insects and lizards and their often overlooked beauty. There are also crows, as well as a series of birds in flight.
All of the animals, birds, insects, and fish have been hand crafted, using a number of different techniques: welded steel armatures, ceramics, acrylic paint, sewn fabric, fiber, wire constructions and handmade paper.
Since "Converging Forces", her 1991 installation of 75 fish, branch traps and various flotsam that dealt with man versus nature, a central theme in Uravitch's work has been the concern about how man and nature interact . Crows, impacted heavily by the West Nile Virus in Northern Virginia a few years ago, have been showing up in her installations since the mid nineties. Alaska trips in 2002 and 2004 with observations of declining numbers of salmon spawning in streams, melting glaciers and disappearing icebergs, further focused the artist's attention on themes such as nature's beauty and fragility, as well as our relationship and responsibility towards it.
