Showing: Sage Vaughn – “Bouquet” Installation @ Great Park Neighborhoods (Irvine)

Stopping by the Great Park Neighborhoods planned development in Irvine, California recently, Sage Vaughn left an installation from his “Bouquet” series for residents to enjoy on the Art Walk of Cadence Park. The three dimensional representation of the Los Angeles-based artist’s signature wildflower imagery was made possible with the help of LeBasse Projects and was created with the thought that he always wanted to make garden sculptures that don’t take away from the nature around them, pieces you can look through as much as you look at.

Interviews: Sage Vaughn – ‘Nobody’s Home’ @ Lazarides

LA based Sage Vaughn makes a welcome return to the UK for his new solo exhibition Nobody’s Home this week at Lazarides Gallery.

A couple of weeks ago, Sage interviewed Bill McRight for AM in anticipation of his solo exhibition Willing to Lose at Breeze Block Gallery in Portland.
