"People of the Land," stoneware clay totempole, about 4 feet tall, $1,200.
The title refers to the tribe Mapuches (Mapu, "of the Land" and Che, "People" ), inhabitants of the South and Patagonia regions of Chile. Their culture has greatly influenced my work.
Born in Santiago, Chile, Ms. Lange has been a resident of Hopewell Township since 1977, where her sculptures can be seen outside her home on Route 518 near Stoney Brook Road.
In Chile, Ms. Lange studied art with sculptor Totila Albert and studied in the School of Applied Art in Santiago. In the late 60’s she moved to New York City and began to work in copper and enamels with Marion Welsh.
Ms. Lange has worked for the last 25 years on outdoor sculptures in stainless steel and aluminum, creating large modern structures for outdoor spaces as well as for interior walls. Her work has been purchased by several corporations and private collectors, and she is currently working on a commission for a 9-foot tall aluminum piece for an apartment complex park near San Francisco. Recently, she made a chalice sculpture in aluminum that was dedicated by the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton.
Ms. Lange is also an accomplished artist in the medium of clay, which she began working with only in recent years. She has created free-form sculptures in clay, and has exhibited her pottery and clay work in Hopewell as well as in various galleries in Pennsylvania and New Jersey areas.
She is a member of the Philadelphia Sculptors Group. Her work has been exhibited at many venues, including:
