Forms

Devlin often works within a vocabulary of forms, using lines, cubes, spheres, and ellipses to build complex narratives. These forms recur across her work, revealing and framing light. She plays with scale, making intimate, human-sized structures or giant monoliths. Many of her large-scale sculptures revolve, using movement to evoke possibility and surprise. Performers inhabit them or dance with them on stage, progressing a story around a static audience. A simple shape presents endless potential.

Accompanying the works are Devlin’s descriptions of her process.
