Visual Tales

Helen Evans Ramsaran
2024

This publication bears the same name as Helen Evans Ramsaran's autobiographical series, "Visual Tales." The projected release year is 2024.

 

Ramsaran moved to New York City in 1973. Shortly thereafter (1978), she created a series of bronze relief sculptures called Visual Tales. This is her only series that is autobiographical in its statement and assumes the form of a visual narrative. The images and forms are somewhat calligraphic, thus posing some very delicate and challenging casting problems. In executing this body of work at the Johnson Atelier Technical Institute of Sculpture in Princeton, New Jersey, Ramsaran was able to perfect the technique of casting very delicate bronze sculptures.  

 

Welancora Gallery exhibited works from Ramsaran's "Visual Tales" series at EXPO Chicago 2023
