Yvonne Mouser: Interstice

Artist Reception: Saturday, September 6, from 5–7pm

Municipal Bonds is pleased to present Interstice, an exhibition of sculptural works by Yvonne Mouser, on view in the gallery’s Annex from September 6 through October 25, 2025. Mouser’s practice spans conceptual art and design, and often involves a central exploration of time and transformation. In this exhibition, she turns to thresholds—sites where one state slips into another, where structures express moments of change. The works—cabinet, bench, table, and stools—retain their function even as they operate as sculpture, reflecting her sensitive engagement with material and process, and her attunement to the elemental forces that shape them.

Mouser’s investigations—between states of what has been and what is becoming—are grounded in experimentation and rigor. Wood is split and joined, metal shaped and oxidized, paper punctured and layered. Each gesture carries the imprint of earlier decisions, balancing construction with destruction, and situating her practice in the charged space between emergent form and disorder. Her systems of assembly suggest growth, erosion, and the accumulation of temporal states.

Interstice, for Mouser, is both literal and metaphorical—an architectural interval, an ecological frontier, a metaphysical crossing. Familiar structures shift through material intelligence, addressing questions of environment, perception, and duration. At its core, her practice reflects on how form holds a record of time: a hinge between permanence and mutability. The act of making connects to longer registers of cosmological change, aligning human construction with elemental properties and processes. Her work creates a balance between order and flux, precision and chance, built form and natural metamorphosis.
