Integrating sculpture, painting, and installation in a form of silent performance, Victor's work investigates the potential for sculpture to reconstitute ephemeral daily experiences. Made slowly and deliberately by hand from raw materials, her objects are charged by the gestures that shaped them. Emulating the logic of functional objects, her intimate sculptures can also be read as abstract drawings of movement, air, light, and shadow. They suggest the intervals, stretches, repetitions, and pauses accrued in making and remaking them, choreographing an expansive moment in time.

Untitled (Sails) are floor-based sculptures made from aluminum, brass, paint, charcoal powder, graphite powder, and fiberglass. Triangles set on a vertical axis, they evoke a sundial, a cast shadow, a flag, or the edge of a door held ajar. Untitled (trace), comprised of cement, hand-worked thread, and brass, reads like a poetic stanza; its lines extending across walls like a musical staff, strings of an instrument, a stretch of sky, or the movement of blinds. Untitled (figure), made of carved plaster, implies a vent — the lungs of a room mid-breath.
