"Works that hold stillness. Forms that anchor presence."
Ava Bock is a contemporary abstract artist who creates intimate sculptural works, paintings, and drawings that explore presence through material and form. Now based in Oregon, her practice centers around resin and reclaimed materials—each piece is hand-poured, drawn, or assembled to hold stillness and invite reflection.
Ava was initially trained in photography, a foundation that shaped her sensitivity to composition, transparency, and light. She earned her BFA in Sculpture from UNC Asheville, where she began refining her approach to minimalist form using industrial and environmental cast-offs. Her work is heavily influenced by the 1960s Light and Space movement but reinterpreted on a smaller, more intimate scale.
Each piece is designed for quiet impact within small footprint spaces. 2D works rarely exceed 12 inches, while sculptural pieces are often under 5 inches deep. Wall-mounted reliefs arrive ready to hang. Works feature bio-resin derived from forestry byproducts, recycled polyester grounds, and salvaged fragments—reinforcing a sustainable, material-forward ethos.
Bock’s process is slow, layered, and meditative. Each form is a physical record of unseen internal paths—moments of tension, quiet, and clarity suspended in space. These original, one-of-a-kind artworks can not be replaced, nor can duplicates be made. Please handle with care.
